Patryk Kania’s “Pearls” is a captivating alt-pop track that blends groovy basslines with dreamy, hazy vocals to create a uniquely endearing sound that feels authentic and sincere. It’s simultaneously hazy and uplifting at once, a strange and alluring atmosphere that Kania is able to bring to life. Slightly offbeat but deliciously melodic, “Pearls” thrives in how distinctive and surreal it sounds.
The song is a tribute to Kania’s hometown and his friends, and is full of references to his personal experiences. The surprise trumpet solo towards the end adds a touch of jazz and funk to the track, making it even more eclectic and interesting. Kania’s vocals, soft and almost ghostly at times add a strange yet captivating emotion to the piece as a whole. It’s got this dreamy escapist lustre with a chorus that’s infectious as hell.
A style of dream pop that I’ve been craving.
