‘Sour’ feels like an amalgamation of modern dream pop artists into an artist’s vision to make something more. It combines the more sultry and relaxing energy of an r&b tune with a more pulsating and punchy beat of an electro-pop tune. There’s infectious and in season 80s synths strewn across alongside a hook that is immediately infectious. But the heart of Tabi Kate’s latest tune lies in the overarching arrangement that carries the entire record. You feel floating, a dreamy pop tune that has you entirely bewitched and entranced while leaving you mesmerized by the flurry of electronic elements that permeate across the soundscape.
Kate’s own vocal harmonies start to blend into the production, serving as another beat when she starts humming ‘you’. It’s in that moment that you feel entirely intoxicated with the melody, completely enamoured by her style and substance. A dream pop tune to remember, and a melody that is inescapable, Tabi Kate is well on the way to stardom in the space.
