The Lofi/experimental soul duo Sargeant X Comrade once showed us that love exists in the stars above and now they take us back to Earth with their newest effort titled “Beautiful.” The production here is steeped in neo-soul with a dreamy acoustic twist. The persistent plucky guitar riffs and off-step drum grooves do work well against frontwoman, Yolanda‘s sublime vocals which flow seamlessly as the song progresses. The track’s lyrics focus on the emotions that come with falling deeply in love with someone which puts you in a trance-like state.
The visual makes use of special effects that convey the literal falling part of being in love. We see Yolanda drifting through the limitless skies as she succumbs to the euphoria of love. The DIY aesthetic and use of slow-motion techniques helps drive the narrative of the song. She never actually hits the bottom alluding to the notion of love not letting one down.
