Drawing inspiration from the emotion and sounds of video games, international duo 700apart are here with an anthemic and quirky piece of modern pop that’s a sheer delight to sing along to. ‘Player 2’ is a love song by all accounts, but it’s unique spin on the soundscape that backs this powerful vocal performance makes it stand out markedly from its contemporaries. The vocals are achingly emotive, really expressive in enormous eloquence a whole swathe of feelings. The soundscape slowly starts to rise and crescendo after a sequence of throughs and peaks that go alongside the overarching theme of highs and lows within the track itself.
But it’s in the chorus that you start to get this larger than life feeling, this anthemic and cinematic opulence that really makes Player 2 feel like something you want to play on full blast and experience with all of your body.
