Setting the tone with an immersive and dynamic synthscape, Yelgo7 opens Central Park with intricacy and dimensionality. Rolling drum riffs reminiscent of the 80s draw us into atmospheric vocals as Yelgo7 sings, “Met you on a clear night, you were looking real fine, brighter than the moonlight…”
A romantic tale unfolds as Yelgo7 takes us on a pulsating electronic, hyperpop adjacent trip. When discussing the story of the song, the emerging artist from Brooklyn confesses, “It’s about a woman I met in Central Park that I felt strongly about. I wanted to vocalize my feelings in a positive and deep manner.”
We appreciate the ode to NYC and love energy from Yelgo7, who cites “The Weeknd’s use of synths and 80’s retro vibe instrumentation” as an influence for the record and also references Logic, NF, and J Cole as sonic inspirations, although it is clear that he is starting to create a sound of his own. He tells us that he came up with the hook on the subway one day, which really brings to life Yelgo7‘s authenticity and charm as an artist and entertainer.
Yelgo7 adds with wisdom, “We are all seeking that true special love sooner or later.” We have added Central Park to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we stream Yelgo7‘s wider discography including Lover.
