What better way to set the tone than to turn those LIGHTS DOWN LOW? That’s what Asian-American electronic producer Angrybaby (Samuel Charles Agate) does on his first single of 2024.  Clocking in at a respectable three-and-a-quarter minutes, on “LIGHTS DOWN LOW,” Agate serves ups picturesque, colorful production cues. The groove is groovin’ by all means. It makes you want to dance or at a minimum, move your body.  Of course, Angrybaby gets a sizable assist courtesy of Sly Jr.  Jr. delivers smooth vocals, with a warm and inviting tone.

Angrybaby, LIGHTS DOWN LOW [📷: TH3RD BRAIN]Characteristic of many dance songs, there is plenty of time on “LIGHTS DOWN LOW” to allow the instrumental to breathe and have its moment. Furthermore, Angrybaby doesn’t throw everything at us at once.  There’s thoughtful nuance, buildup, and fabulous pacing. The instrumental, as well as Sly Jr.’s vocals are hypnotic.  The music is dynamic, but also thrives as ‘background music,’ if you catch my drift. All told, “LIGHTS DOWN LOW” is an enjoyable, well-rounded dance/electronic record that’s worth spinning throughout the entirety of 2024, NO CAP.
