Establishing the mood with a pristine pop vocal and the song’s intentional, original lyricism, Assa Music opens his cover of ALOK and Steve Aoki‘s Typical with emotional depth, an evocative range from vocalist Ben, and sonic dynamism.
The opening lyrics, “It’s so typical, call me cynical, love’s conditional, it’s like I’m invisible…” are eye opening, and the message of the track is designed to take us on a journey through the psyche of the woes of a human connection.
The opus expands with a pulsating beat, intricate risers and a dark tropical house energy, showcasing thought-provoking nuance and instrumental mastery from the rising Norwegian producer.
We appreciate the captivating hooks and the passionate vocal performance, as well as the dimensional, deep house production which has us mesmerized at every moment.
Speaking on his journey and return to music, Assa Music confesses, “The unexpected hiatus has been a period of reflection, growth, and artistic metamorphosis. During this time, I’ve delved deep into my creative well, refining my sound, and rekindling the flames of passion that drive me as an artist.”
With reference to his choice of cover, the talented creator adds, “Typical is more than just a song; it’s a cathartic release of emotions, a melody that encapsulates the essence of my experiences during the hiatus. Every note is a testament to the resilience born from introspection, a harmonious blend of vulnerability and strength.”
We deeply connect with Assa Music‘s version of Typical, and have added the track to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream his wider discography, including Care For, and Circles.
