In the 19^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz 🔥 (2023), we break down “Muscle Memory” performed by KAMILLE.

“I can’t find the rhythm, can’t shake off my regrets.” Sad, KAMILLE! What is it on “Muscle Memory”, the opening track from her album, K1, that has the English singer/songwriter regretful? Missing her lover, of course:  “Spinnin’ round and round like every word that you said / The day that you left me cold and blue.”  Damn! This muscular song is NOT about getting a good pump at the gym.  Instead, matters of the heart drive the narrative – with a hint of the dancefloor in the mix.  Notably, KAMILLE collaborates with the legendary Nile Rodgers, who writes alongside her on this electrifying, three-and-a-half-minute bop.   

The chorus is the centerpiece. “And if you come back to me / You can find my love right where it used to be,” KAMILLE sings, continuing, “I’ll keep dancin’ all alone until you hold me / You make my heart beat again like muscle memory, muscle memory.” Speaking of dancing, “Muscle Memory” features a sweet, ultra-slick, danceable beat.  Additionally, the keys (piano) are keying, the bass line is big and robust, and the rhythm guitar is funky AF. Of course, the star of the show is KAMILLE, whose lead vocals are smooth and sultry. The background vocals are sweet too, particularly when harmonized. All told, “Muscle Memory” is a relatable, muscular, must-hear pop banger.
