MUSIC REVIEW: LO-FI/CHILLHOP

Hello!

Today, I want to recommend an energetic chillhop composition called One Night in Paris. It was created by the German composer under the pseudonym Sid Mellowdy, whose mascot is a sloth. Unfortunately, I couldn't find out who is behind this persona, so let's move straight to the music itself.

Track Structure and Sound

One Night in Paris sounds lively and inspiring. As is common in chillhop, the guitar plays a key role, and Sid Mellowdy offers several variations of it. The first variation opens the composition – it sounds soft along with the introductory beat, gradually increasing in dynamics with the addition of an instrument similar to an electric piano. This smoothly transitions into the second guitar variation: at the 43rd second, the chords start to resemble the palm muting technique, adding even more energy and rhythm to the track. Sid Mellowdy integrates all of this very organically, subtly guiding the listener to this moment.

Dynamics and Composition Development

After the first minute, right at the midpoint of the track, we hear a light bridge with the removal of the drums, after which the sound develops in a familiar pattern. Perhaps the second half of the track could have used a bit more variation, as it feels almost like a mirror image of the first half.

Atmosphere and Emotional Coloring

Despite this, the track is easy to listen to and flows smoothly. Sid Mellowdy skillfully selected and combined instruments, creating an atmosphere that evokes interesting associations. However, contrary to its title, the composition feels less like a night in Paris and more like the sensation of being in love – whether with a person or with one's craft. This melody is perfect for getting into a creative flow or simply enjoying good company.

So, if you're looking to enrich your chillhop playlist with a high-quality track, One Night in Paris is a great choice. It's another little achievement for true music lovers.

Have a great day!
