Chughey’s latest release, “Games,” is a heart-wrenching and emotional exploration of the complexities of love and relationships. Through the use of a soulful backing instrumental soundscape, evocative bars and a cinematic soundscape of piano and soaring guitar riffs, Chughey manages to convey the feelings of frustration and longing that come with being in a one-sided relationship. With a hint of Mac Miller’s melodic flow, “Games” takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions, from the slow and introspective moments to more punchy and pronounce ones.
‘Games’ is able to exist as this soulful piece of melodic hip-hop with a touch of experimental poise and emotional expressiveness in such a wonderful way. Riding and flowing on a piano driven instrumental is never easy, and that makes the dexterousness shown by Chughey’s flow that much more impressive. It’s emotional core is exceptionally touching, making ‘Games’ a perfect way to come to terms with painful relationships gone by.
