MEYY sounds like she wrote and recorded “Common Love” in a secret hideout after two in the morning. Her breathy vocals and hazy vocal samples drift in a flow of gentle tones and drones over a shuffling beat of processed electronic percussion. It’s a dreamlike song that envelops you in a warm embrace evocative of its sentiments of love described in poetically sensual terms urging her lover to come closer and more. The song is an unabashed expression of passion and lust but one that makes it seem like something easy and natural and enticing. In another era the song might be considered downtempo but its composition bears all the hallmarks of the production style where hip-hop and deep house meet to create irresistible soundscapes that stir the imagination and the body. Listen to “Common Love” on Spotify.
