There are musicians that stick to a certain genre, and there are musicians that blend genres together, and then there’s ndge and his “ndgetopia,” where you can place the maximum of expectations you can come up with, and a song of his like “Why Would I Notice” exceeds them anyway.
“Why Would I Notice” is ndge’s sophomore single. As I recall, I mentioned in the debut single’s article that I’m waiting to see how ndge will top his funky start. Well, he didn’t! Rather, he went with a whole new start. Apparently, with such a creative artist, you won’t hear the same style twice. He has enough artistry to make one explore fresh sonic realms with astonishing characteristics every time he releases music.
Right from the intro, you get the sense that you’re about to be charged with an energetic dose of electro music. Nevertheless, there are more surprises as you keep going and vibing along. ndge gives a charismatic delivery of rap verses with a catchy pop chorus, both flowing smoothly with upbeat rhythms. The musical composition fits the theme perfectly and builds the desired atmosphere. Electronic Pop and Hip-Hop are uniting well to weave the main fabric, but an unexpected rocky entrance makes the canvas more vivid. As the vibrant synth is the center stage instrument, the guitar riffs manage to stand out with their dazzling solo part.
With easygoing storytelling, the song portrays the colored moment in your foggy day when, out of the blue, you meet someone, and boom! There’s an instant spark that you both feel. All of the elements illustrate this feeling of the heart beating fast; even the music video plays a role in doing so. Ndge narrates the story as if you were there, witnessing the love-at-first-sight scene. The music video shows how you can get an authentic sound and distinct artistic identity through footage.
This time, I’m not going to say that I’m thrilled to see if ndge will crack up a notch next time. For I know for a fact that he’ll bring something fresh that has the “ndgetopia” stamp.
