More to Give - RarriQUESO, Popkanon, Jack Flash (Pop) A pop trio gives us “More to Give” this week, with a punchy bop that exemplifies what we mean by “feel good music.” Our artists span the world, from Norway to the US, who together have built a reputation of creating genre-blending collaborations with diverse artists, this time featuring latin artist RarriQUESO. The slamming kick drives the track, which picks up little sweeteners as it rolls forward, from the addition of a string line to the soulful reverbs which end up closing the record. There’s great singalong-ability here, and the structure of the track really stands out, elevating what at first might feel like a simple summertime bop. From the pull back of the bridge to the surprisingly stirring outro, this is a rich production that is as slick as it is catchy.
