There is a wonderful tension at the heart of “Fell in Love Again,” a ebb and flow through a number of genres that never seems to perfectly resolve, a restlessness as it swirls between sounds and styles. And all of this is what really keeps things interesting, stops it from becoming predictable or pedestrian, two things it is certainly not. This sixth single from the forthcoming Underground Sky wanders between raw R&B sonics and an indie vibe, a psychedelic pop vibe, and troubled soul!
But given its theme of longing and innocent adoration that grabs us in the first rush of love as we embark on a new relationship, the slightly confused, turbulent nature of the music is the perfect sonic rendering of that onrush of emotions.
“Fell in Love Again” is soulful, but not exactly smooth; rhythmic but running on ticking, staccato beats; seductive, but only if you surrender to its slightly off-kilter charms. It’s also a wonderful act of sonic duality, these more uneven sounds being balanced by swathes of synth washes and chiming piano—a song made of opposites, but of so attractive ones.
If Prince came from a more lo-fi, indie band background rather than the big, polished rock ‘n’ soul realm, this is exactly the sort of song that he would have been known for.
