Glasgow's DOPESICKFLY return in style with "Side 2 Side". The new single is the first they have released since 2022 and is an exciting breath of fresh air for me, especially. It fuses funky grooves and rap vocals with a delicate bounce of melodic pop-rock and bright indie-pop sounds that just sparkle in your ears.
... a nostalgic, genre-blending burst of energy packed with hooks, groove, and feel-good charm.
For me, especially growing up in the 1990s, this reminds me a lot of those funky tunes you'd hear on sports soundtracks on the PlayStation 1. It's infectious, and those breezy vocals in the chorus are enough to win me over.
It's dynamic in the way that it has the male and female vocals perfectly balanced, with soothing tones throughout, all wrapped up in this genre-blurring collection of guitars, bass, and tight drum fills. If you like alternative music, then this is going to be for you. Regardless of whether you listen to everything this track is all about genre-wise, you'll still love it for how upbeat and addictive it is.
