Setting the mood with intricate piano and atmospheric vocals, Tainted Youth open the 3am Mix of their epic genre expansive single, Feel that way, with the lyrics, “I’m a fighter, I’ll keep coming back, even stronger, never slowing down, try and stop me, I’m sorry that you feel that way…”
The 3am Mix of Feel that way evolves into a cerebral composition with elements of pop and dubstep, cohesively fused into a tapestry that is ethereal and emotive, we particularly love the snares and high hats that lead us to an exquisite guitar performance.
The song breaks down with an instrumental segment featuring cosmic detailing that feels out of this world. The enigmatic guitar returns with vocal samples giving us a lounge-like jazz-hybrid energy.
Speaking on the release, Tainted Youth, who are based in London, elaborate, “Feel that way is our third single and is a look back at a lot of the music that got us into making music years ago, such as the 2010 electronic anthems coming out of the UK. Such as Chase & Status’s Blind Faith or Magnetic Man’s I Need Air. We wanted to make a song that felt like these songs to us with a modern twist to it.”
We definitely feel like Tainted Youth have achieve that goal, whilst delivering a fresh production vibe fit for 2022 and beyond. The duo adds with reference to the story of the song, “Lyrically, Feel that way is a journey of self empowerment and the ability to overcome the criticism of those who doubt you.”
The atmospheric vocal production is out of this world on both versions of the song, and works brilliantly with the magnetic and dimensional sonic landscape of the composition. We have added the 3am Mix of Feel that way to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we also stream the original, Better off Apart and Watch it Burn.
