NDGE’s “Sweetest Things” is his third release this year, and it has his “ndgetopia” stamp all over it. Get ready to be immersed in some nostalgic grooves along with the uplifting beats and, of course, NDGE’s charismatic delivery.
I wrote about NDGE’s previous releases, and despite his distinct musicality that you won’t hear elsewhere, what I like the most about his songs is his sarcastic approach; you won’t hear what he wants to deliver in a straightforward way; instead, he wraps up with ironic lyricism and playful delivery. His latest song, “Sweetest Things,” follows the same direction, spreading humorous, light vibes.
“Sweetest Things” is an upbeat track that conveys how people sometimes say the rudest things. You didn’t expect that from the title, right? Well, you’ll get used to it. In the song, we witness NDGE’s ability to craft frisky writing, a nostalgic yet fresh soundscape, and a funky execution.
From the intro to the outro, all elements of the song try to send a message to people out there, which is “When you say the sweetest things, try to mean them.” The smooth singing, delightful beats, electrifying synth, and dense guitar riffs weave together a heavy, beautiful canvas.
Not just the infectious arrangement and the smooth vocal performance allure one to be part of NDGE’s unique realm, but also the colorful music video that has the characteristics of NDGE. Just like the track, it works on evoking euphoria, nostalgia, and caring-free sense.
Here’s to another vibrant, feel-good song with a different sonic experience yet the same artistic signature of NDGE.
