‘4AM’ slowly rises to life with a gentle synth sound that flows into a paced guitar. The guitar sinks a hook into your chest and tugs you into the foot-tapping beats that lead you down the melody. Through the melody, you can hear the influence of retro and vintage tones, but there is a clear covering of modern rock-pop flowing over it. The melody is interesting as it brings a touch of nostalgia to a borderline anthemic flow. It is incredibly catchy as it fills your senses with the sparkling lights of a movie soundtrack. The creative balance of elements is masterful and moves with a unique flow that carries the lightest edge of familiarity making the single all the more addictive to listen to.
As the melody fills you with the perfected blend of old and new, the vocals take you on an adventure of spontaneous experiences and carefree freedom. Through the opening verse, his vocals carefully draw you out of your shell and encourage you to grab onto the opportunities life presents you. The chorus picks up the catchiness of the melody and transforms it into a vocal movement that has you shouting out with excitement. As the single progresses, the freedom offered by the lyrics becomes truly infectious and lifts heaviness from your chest filling you with bright energy packed with possibilities. It is a wonderfully upbeat track that makes you feel ready to take on anything the world can throw at you while getting you moving to the rhythm.
With a perfect blend of retro and modern in ‘4AM’, HADEE. has us dropping inhibitions to grab spontaneous opportunities with a smile. The melody has you moving to the rhythm while blurring the lines between modern and retro. His vocals are a bright and energetic encouragement to grab onto life and live it to the fullest.
