The ever versatile Ty Dolla $ign delivers a song readymade for the summer with his dance/house/pop/R&B single, “Motion.”

“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 n^thdegree. Honestly, is there anybody who won’t get their motion listening to this? The high is real!
