“One Drop” by the Dutch artist Roofman is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates great songwriting and musical creativity. The song starts with a chuggy acoustic guitar and the slightly muffled vocal that gives the song a warm, nostalgic feel– as though you’re listening to an old cassette tape. As the song progresses, the main melody kicks in and the guitar work is truly lush. The playing is simple, yet acts as a good foundation for the vocal melodies.
Roofman’s vocals on this track demonstrate a decent range. I like how they are drenched in reverb, creating a faint, swirling atmosphere on the verses. The lyrics are upbeat, but there is a nice introspective and melancholic element to them. The addition of synth splashes add to the track’s dreamy quality. The bass line is smooth, prolific, and adds an extra layer of depth to the track. The end of the track is especially noteworthy, with the reverberated noises building to create a psychedelic atmosphere, starting as a haze, with guitar that gently emerges from it. “One Drop,” by Roofman, is a well-crafted and enjoyable track… Make sure to give it a listen– you won’t be disappointed.
