Bäckar – Anything For You (2020)
Bäckar is the solo project by artist, songwriter and producer Joseph Brooks. Using a wide range of influences, he is creating forward-thinking pop with meticulously crafted soundscapes. His debut single ‘Anything For You’ highlights everything that we can expect in the future.
The song took on many different forms before the final version was released. It draws on a balance between happy and sad while still getting you to dance.
‘Anything For You’ has a smooth opening, but hooks you with the change in the melody. While there is a driving beat that propels you through the song, the melody has a few changes that keep you on your toes. It is a very groovy melody that incorporates strings, guitars and embellishments from both pop and rock. The result is a sound that is very unique with splashes of 80s vibes to it.
Bäckar’s vocals on the track are a smooth and stable thread against the changing melody. The chorus has an echoing 80s feel to it that has a very Beach Boys vibe to it. While the melody is upbeat and gets you bobbing to the beat, the lyrics add a hint of sadness to the song. This dichotomy makes the song very interesting and a fun experience.
Bäckar makes you bounce to the beat while feeling a little sad with ‘Anything for You’. The 80s vibes to the song are upbeat and fun while the lyrics have a melancholic message and tone. The vocals are smooth and offer stability against the changes in the melody.
