Throughout life, we have little moments of connection with people, that lead to a flurry of ‘what ifs’ running through our minds. This is something that Stromer Hills fills his single ‘If U Like the Way I Walk’ with, as he dips into a happy-go-lucky and light-hearted vibe. These vibes are wrapped around a melody that is sure to get you out of your seat and dancing around.
While the single is light, bright and happy, it is the result of some darker moments where Stromer Hills was looking for balance in his life. After taking a few weeks away from making music, he started a new process of recording and reignited his passion for what he does. Using his unique sound, he is a breath of fresh air that invigorates you just by doing what he does.
‘If U Like the Way I Walk’ fills you with the upbeat vibe of the single from the first moment. There is a hop and bounce to the melody that gets you moving before you know what has happened. This could be your foot tapping, your head bopping, or your whole body grooving to the rhythm of the melody. The pluck of the beat struts you down the melody, while the hazier almost RnB melodics smooth down your skin. It is a perfectly blended melody that brings touches of dance to upbeat pop and the rich slide of RnB. The happy and light-hearted vibes of the single land on your skin where they are soaked up and turn into a bright energy that floods your senses. You can’t help but feel a little smile tug at your lips as you move to the music.
While the melody bounces you into the movement of the single, Stromer Hills’ vocals enter at the same time and drop you into a spark of connection. There is a beckon through the opening vocal line as he invites you to come and learn more about him. This turns into a feeling of what-ifs and the potential that could come from a single spark. His performance is quite dynamic and showcases the full range of what he can do. The chorus is packed with dancing pop movements that hold you close and dance to the music with you. The verses have a punchier feeling to the delivery, as the tone drops a little lower for a whisper of possibilities. The rise to higher tones is fantastic as it retains the happy vibes, while considering the sad feeling of knowing that the connection is momentary and you probably won’t ever meet again.
