“It’s Okay” finds synth pop duo CATBEAR making a strong yet sensitive statement about self-acceptance. The pace of the song and its typically tonally rich synths are reminiscent of early Ladytron and Pleasure Victim-period Berlin. The touch of guitar shimmer washes bring a gentle texture the song that enhances the mood. When the rhythm drops out we’re left with the warmly comforting vocals and ethereal streaming it’s like an extended moment to rest and relax, to let one’s guard down as the song suggests and to step into a complete sense of self rather than one more edited for arbitrary standards of acceptance on any level.
