UK based artist Sfven has a new anthemic alt-pop banger called “like that” out now. Disarming, masterfully crafted, and vibrating with a cosmic bittersweet energy, “like that” is a multi-layered pop jam that you will love. Unassuming drum machine tempo and synths bleet and build as Sfven croons to begin the song – soon the energetic chorus shoots starbursts of pop exuberance through the ceiling of the bedroom-pop world. With muted warm synths and a disarmingly relaxed pop growl, Sfven creates a thickness of beautifully layered instrumentals. Sfven couples the lyrics and musical tonality so successfully, it almost makes you inhabit that striking moment when a love’s gaze hits you and the world feels perfect and euphoric while simultaneously feeling the potential to lose such a thing.
Here is Sfven discussing what the song means to him:
“i guess ‘like that’ is about a conflicted feeling. when maybe you can feel something isn’t quite right but can’t put exactly into words what it is – especially when you still look at each other the same way.”
