Throw in a whistle-like an actual referee’s whistle. Maddie Jay's"The Peanut Butter Song" continues to prove how good the artist is at tackling life’s toughest situations and finding a way to dance through them. Moments like the chorus make it clear-the catchy synth riff front and center with stunning yet subtle background vocals holding it all together. The whole track feels so effortless, quite the feat when you consider the beauty and depth in the production and the emotion and vulnerability of the lyrics. The specific, almost-healthiness of peanut butter is a brilliant metaphor, and Jay delivers the words in the smooth and silky style we’ve come to expect from her. There's wildly creative and fun imagery in Jay's words as she spots and acknowledges that this relationship might not be as good as it looks. It’s the same optimism that guides the narrator.

Maddie Jay’s newest single, “The Peanut Butter Song”, is the perfect song to carry us into the spring, shedding the heaviness of winter with a warm groove. In a press release, Lloyd explains the feeling of limbo that the song highlights, “ is about considering a relationship from long ago-remembering how we were so in love, and that person was everything to us, only now when we think about that one time.was that moment them?” Or was it not? It’s also completely club-ready with Lloyd’s signature 808-inspired beats and vocal chops that keep a hypnotic groove while Gongol’s vocal is spotlighted for its lush sensuality. Complete with Samantha Gongol’s sultry, emotive vocal and Jeremy Lloyd’s minimalistic production, this song takes just the right amount of space to reflect upon a past relationship with its moodiness. Was what happened in the past really as it seems or, as Marian Hillappropriately titles their new single, “was it not”? The fiery, dark-pop duo, who have championed their brand of sparse, heavy-hitting production and indulgent songwriting continue to do what they do best on this new track.

The reality is that memories stay with you, but after a while, they tend to mix in with new moments and take on new shapes. There’s a difference between moving on and moving forward. The Oakland artist has created something special with their EP Flourish Against Fracture, which dropped at the end of January 2020. Satya shares powerful and emotional messages with blunt clarity across the entire EP-"Soil" acting as a lighter, encouraging song, stepping through the confusion and darkness of life into a brighter future. And to say nothing of the 19-year-old’s songwriting would be a shame. Again, the space the song leaves for these two to shine gives it such a human element. As “Soil” waltzes on, the bridge finds Satya trading lines with a trumpet, both filled with so much heart. The additional layers of vocals in the chorus hug the track without obfuscating its simple beauty. These tiny flourishes in tone and texture could get lost in a more produced song but here you can feel every single thing. Verses with just guitar and Satya’s elegant vocals offer more room for those vocals to impress-something they have no trouble doing. Feelings created by the track's bare-bones production. Fresh off their debut EP, Satya delivers “Soil,” a tune that feels cozy, intimate, and jazzy.
