‘Mr. C’s’ new song, “Over It,” sets the tone from the start with a crystal-clear yet softly dreamy soundscape and beat and proceeds to give an engaging anthem that summer has been crying out for.
‘Mr.C’ is a young singer and artist from Salt Lake City-born in Sacramento, California, who is simply trying to make it and remain alive.
On this latest album, ‘Mr.C’ takes a novel approach to sound creation. “Over It” begins with a quickly appealing, spacious, and distinctive new beat, blending hip hop-like weight with the nostalgic soul of electronica and the more absorbing clap of pop.
Early on, the contrast between delicacy and drive works well. This dance-kissed rhythm, like ‘Mr. C’s’ long-form lyrics and melodic progression evoke a sense of velocity and movement.
Then there’s the tenderness of the tone, the simple repetition of those flickers — a touch of nature-inspired hip-hop. Because of tremendous synergy and professionalism, these details work as one.
The determination that has gone into creating the music here is undeniable. From a distance, the whole thing appears simple – it’s a piece of engaging music, complete with confidence and tight dance kissed maneuvers – but focusing on any selection of audible moments reveals and appreciates just how much effort and professionalism has actually taken place.
Brilliant work, a tremendous radio-ready smash, and a piece of music we’ll most likely hear a lot of in the following weeks and months.
