Setting the tone with an astral strings arrangement, a bass riser and evocative melodic riffs, The Feels open I’m Not That Guy with intrigue and a cinematic nature. Needless to say, we are in awe.
The opus expands with a pristine pop vocal and the situational lyrics, “Oh baby, you said you’re coming for me, but all I see is time pass me by…”. We immediately connect with the assertive nature of the prose and the charismatic delivery, fused with a dimensional soundscape, showcasing nothing short of instrumental mastery.
We appreciate the catchy nature of the hooks, out of this world synth performances and timeless guitar riffs, as well as the nuanced retro-harmonies, which is all designed by the duo to invite us to the dance-floor with “sexy sophistication and edge.”
We learn that The Feels are a Long Island, NY based duo comprised of members Danny Ayala and Andy Ballereua, Danny shares a sublime vocal, whilst Andy showcases his visionary production skill.
The pair cite The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak, and Michael Jackson as influences, which we can feel come through in their sound, although there is no doubt that The Feels are creating a magnetic universe of their own.
We have added the dynamic and immersive I’m Not That Guy to our New Music Spotlight playlist and our brand new TRIPPY and TIMELESS playlists, whilst we continue to stream The Feels‘ wider discography, including Don’t Count Me Out!
