Sahara Beck – Kryptonite (2021)
Through the sparkling and bubbling tones of ‘Kryptonite’, Sahara Beck offers listeners a seductive shot of denial and decadence. At its core, the single looks at running away from reality instead of facing up to everything. With candid confession, hard truths and a dive into vices, the single is engaging while toeing the line of personal.
The final realisation that the single leads us to is poignant and one that we should all take note of as most of us try to avoid facing problems head-on. This single follows on from her last which received international radio play on some very influential stations. Another step in a career that has already seen some serious high points, the track cements Beck’s place in the music industry as an artist we should all be keeping an eye on.
‘Kryptonite’ warbles and bubbles into your ears through the synths of the opening. There is a wonderful movement to the synths that make you want to dance around and get lost in the bubbling sparkle of the music. The beat tap against the light synths before dipping for a vibrating moment that bursts into happy and fun vibes. There is no way you can listen to this melody and not feel the urge to dance around and move. As the single progresses, the synths tumble over each other to create tingling textures that lead you back to the brightness of the chorus.
Through all of this, Beck’s vocals are powerful as she matches the dancing vibes while bringing the deeper message of the track. There is an understanding through the lyrics that you are running from what you should be confronting. As you enter the bursting chorus, you are drawn to the vices used to avoid problems and the temporary joy and peace they provide. The single is a wonderful combination of fun, lively vibes and a serious message that we should all take the time to think about. This contrast of vibes has been beautifully handled and crafted into a truly engaging track that you can’t stop listening to.
Using sparkling and bubbly synths, Sahara Beck has you dancing to her sound while weaving an important message into the powerful vocals of ‘Kryptonite’. As the music gets you moving to its rhythm, her vocals draw you into bad avoidance mechanisms and the temporary joy they provide. Her performance is powerful as she enhances the dancing vibes while relaying a rather important message.
