“That’s when I get my motion / Our bodies in the moment.” WOO! Versatility pays off.  For 🎙 Ty Dolla $ign, that means he can fit in any number of musical lanes and come out on top.  Ty has one of the most unique voices in the game – one that is far too often taken for granted.  Once again, the ‘walking vibe’ brings good vibes on his brief but electrifying single, 🎵 “Motion”. If you were expecting something predictable from Ty, he surprises. “Motion” fuses acid, dance, house, pop, and R&B.

There is no doubt that the voice is a key part of the success of “Motion.” The songwriting doesn’t hurt either.  It’s not poetic or characterized by depth, but the lyrics do what they are intended – create a vibe (“Come from on high / Won’t let me go vibe / Start feelin’ so right / It’s takin’ control”).  This motion involves dancing, and, likely, more intimate dancing if you catch my drift .  The production carries plenty of weight.  🎛 Stryv and Nasty Kutt give Ty Dolla $ign a fitting backdrop – one meant as a surefire catalyst of the motion which he speaks! The keys and synths are locked-in, while the groove is infectious to the nth degree. Honestly, is there anybody who won’t get their motion listening to this? The high is real!
