The Weekly Froth #16 (with Matthew Kyle, Mike Simonetti, and more!)


The weekly froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer’s fancy.

Track of the week: ‘Just Say the World’ by Matthew Kyle
This immediately starts right with a nice groove, and after twenty seconds it gets a little something something with a nice beat to put some extra oomph to it. Another twenty seconds later it gets some percussion to flesh it out even more. It also puts some variety in it not to make it just the ongoing beat to listen to. After a minute there’s a slow down, and after that those amazing, colourful vocals come in. Kyle rides that for a while, brings it down a bit, and then he puts a new vocal line on the more minimal sounds. After that he goes back to what he did before, but attaching that new vocal line to the old one. I really like that – taking two elements you have already heard and then mixing those together in a later stage of the song. That’s really nicely done, it adds variety, it adds recognition, it gives the song a clear build-up; that’s good thinking right there. I happened to come across a song of his not too long ago which I also really liked, so he’s on something of a run definitely.
