The songs I’ve posted lately have been sort of contemplative, moody, etc. So this is a change of pace, You’re The One For Me by Great Good Fine Ok. Today I’m feeling closer to some of the other recent posts, but GGFO still entices me to sing. This song in particular starts with a filtered intro bringing in some synths and drums for rhythm that I deeply respect. There are certain artists who in their production use the space between beats, fills, and interplay with the basses more naturally than others and while that doesn’t happen all over this track, it is a trend and GGFO have shown and incredible aptitude for it in my opinion. I get a bit of an indescribable setting from this song, with a lot of conflicting information. I feel like it takes place in a jungle, but also on an island paradise, and simultaneously still it sounds like It’s playing in the dark space up top my head where the constellations are. I particularly enjoy the transfer from the deeper rhythm synth to the waning synths like breaking waves that come with the chorus. It is the first track off of Great Good Fine Ok’s Body Diamond, in which it pairs quite nicely as an introduction to the sound of GGFO as well as sets the mood for the EP, which unlike 2M2H has some softer tones and for lack of a better moniker more tropical style instrumentation. I highly suggest you listen to all of Body Diamond, as it explores a few interesting topics and has a plenty of musical movement despite being only 15 minutes. In fact the entirety of GGFO’s catalogue (barring their variety of impressive remixes) is roughly 40 minutes, and their new single, Already Love, is incredibly bouncy.

TL;DR Great Good Fine Ok have a wonky groove to their pop, with a punch that sits irresistibly. Also I’m a sucker for a good falsetto. You can mainline their discography for 40 minutes plus remixes but by that time you’ll be hooked anyway so why havn’t you already started?
