Snappy beats bump into punctuated vocals in Bombs Away’s new single “Let You Down.”

EDM pop kept square… This one’s clean-cut and sharp on the chorus.

Just right for dancing. Just right to bounce to.

“My heart isn’t beating the same.”

A car in the countryside. A flare of the solar kind.

An amber ocean waves at your passing — light soaking a million leaves.

No destination. The tank is full. The road ahead bends and blurs in Summer heat.

You look at each other, separated by a rush of air, and bend with the road. Out of sight.

“I’m hoping that we can make it.”

The vocals carry a Michael Jackson tinge; cut short with aggressive restraint. They top the rebounding beat nicely.

Verse to chorus, everything feels solid in “Let You Down.” It’s big and full all over.

1-done

The melodic rhythm makes it for me. Piano keys press the progression, then jump down to bass at the chorus — keeping that rhythm alive. Nice.

You’ll like this one if you’re all in on the pop EDM scene. If you’re not, try it anyway!
