Shaun Cordingley
Welcome to the "Daily Song Drop": theguysfrom.com's song of the day feature where our resident indie music writer and former DJ Shaun Cordingley features a song every weekday that he feels you need to hear.
H.I.G.H. (Her In Greater Heights) - WavyTheCreator
Nigerian filmmaker, visual artist, and now, with the release of this debut single, musician WavyTheCreator starts off our week of Daily Song Drops with the chill, feel-good, indie house track "H.I.G.H. (Her In Greater Heights).
Check the song out below:
The opening of "H.I.G.H." sets the tone perfectly for the rest of the track: a chill, almost ambient beat underneath a bright flourishing piano leads us into what becomes an excellent (especially in the dog-days of August) "chill outside in the heat" house track. The vocals are balanced along the top of the relaxed beat perfectly; it's rare, especially in a first track, to have the vocals slot into a track flawlessly (and not overshadow the feel of the song), and WavyTheCreator nails that here.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing what Wavy does next, as I think we all need more, well-executed, chill indie electronic music in our lives.
At least, I know I do.
Here's the July 2017 DSD Playlist! We're missing a few tracks this month, which is sad for the Apple Music folks, but you've still got a really solid list this month (if I do say so myself, which I do...*cough*)
We are also now on Spotify! Here is the link to the July '17 Spotify List (which features 1 more track than the Apple Music list).
If you're looking for any of our past playlists, be sure to check out a Friday DSD feature, or serach for TGF on either Apple Music or Spotify!
See you tomorrow for our next Daily Song Drop!
