Looking for a song so deliciously addictive you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it?
“Stranger” is the newest release from electronic and alt-R&B band The Code.
Formed in England in 2014, The Code has steadily built attention with their holistic approach to sound, releasing two acclaimed mixtapes: 1/11 and Blue Electronica.
“Stranger” starts with a melodic, bouncy analog synth thread that becomes the spine of the track. Soon, soulful vocals come in with a top-line melody that nods to the ’90s, accompanied by a steady marching beat.
The vocals are rich and soulful, adding to the lush sonic landscape of the track.
Overall, “Stranger” is sexy, cool, calm, and fully in control. The expert production and blend of carefully curated sonic elements make you feel like you’re in great hands as a listener, as The Code transports you into pure bliss for the full 3 minutes and 32 seconds.
It’s an impressive single that expertly blends experimental electronic, R&B, and pure swag.
