Caught in the Loop – City of Love (2021)
There are many people who are stuck in an endless search for love and need a pulse of confidence and the desire to take matters into their own hands. This is what Caught in the Loop offers with his new single ‘City of Love’. The single tells the story of a protagonist who keeps falling in love only to act too cautiously and lose the opportunity to be with the one they like.
Pulling threads from real-life, the single gives you the confidence boost you need. While tapping into his own experience of the story, he lets others know that there is hope and gives you the inspiration you need to grab onto what you want. From the same man who mapped the conflict of heart and mind, Jonas Böttger continues to fill you with motivation.
The bright lights of the opening of ‘City of Love’ fills you with a light energy. There is something unbelievably pleasant about the sparkling synth tones. The moving beats shuffle gently below these tones to get you tapping to the rhythm. There is a light neon feeling to the music that fills your brain with twinkling lights like the city after it rains. The high tones of the music give the single a dreamy feeling that is brought to Earth by the vocals.
The initial vocal line is an airy hum over the sparkling melody. Böttger’s vocals flutter in and draw you into the story of the vocals. There is a softness to his performance that is easy to listen to while infusing you with the yearning for what seems to be unrequited love. This is a very emotive single as each word fills you with a longing for someone you love while you are held back by inexplainable anxiety and reluctance to make any moves. The chorus has this wonderful flow to it that you are swept into as you want to sing along and acknowledge what is being said.
Caught in the Loop uses twinkling tones and smooth vocals to look at being cautious with love in ‘City of Love’. While the twinkling tones fill you with light, the vocals bring you to ground and cover you in the emotions of the lyrics. As you fall into the story, you are filled with confidence and the feeling that you should grab onto the love you want.
