Ferris Pier is back packing some severe heat. The DJ, artist, and producer extraordinaire delivers an absolute thumper of a tune for his latest single “I Like,” and we can’t get enough. This one feels different from the jump alive, electric, emitting cool like radiation in all directions. Once you hear him, it’s abundantly clear that Ferris Pier creates whole sonic worlds that envelope you and refuse to let go.
“I Like” takes the architectural approach that few tracks dare to use, daring you not to move. Channeling the smooth, future-forward grooves of Daft Punk with the swag-soaked funk of Childish Gambino, Ferris Pier mixes sounds like a mad scientist with a synthesizer, everything from pop, funk, house, and soul, coloring their vibrant, Technicolor swirl. The result? A perky anthem with pulse-pounding beats, glistening synths, and hooks for days.
Enter Brother Leo, whose voice is pure sunshine with a kick of sass and soul. Its delivery is magnetic. He rises to sing the song with a voice that struts, dances, and floats above the production as if he were born to be there. His presence is the secret sauce, injecting doses of charisma that send the track into instant-repeat territory.
There’s something cinematic about the way “I Like” unfolds. It ascends and descends with elegant precision, but never seems patterned. Instead, it gives off a spark alive with creativity and feeling. Whether in the car with the windows down, stomping on a dance floor, or vibrating your whole self, this picks up every part. But “I Like” is a mood setter. It’s bold and bright and unmistakably fresh. Ferris Pier once again confirms that he can write songs that move the body and soul. This is a genre-blending statement from an artist who knows what he is and what sound he wants to share with the world.
