The Swedish band 'Me & Melancholy' delivers an interesting mixture of ballad and classic synth pop with their song 'One Of These Days'. The song starts with a catchy drum beat that immediately reminds me of the classic 'Need You Tonight' by INXS. But at the latest when the bass kicks in, it becomes clear that 'One Of These Days' takes a completely different direction sonically. The song moves in a quiet, melancholic environment and unfolds its full effect even at only 100 bpm.
Nevertheless, 'One Of These Days' manages to captivate and carry away the listener. The vocals are sensitive and soulful, the instrumentation is discreet and unobtrusive. All in all, the song seems very coherent and mature. Especially the quiet passages, in which the singing can unfold, know how to convince. The change between the different parts of the song is also flowing and harmonious. This song is part of our Spotify playlist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2023‘. The playlist is updated continuously.
