DWYCT - Lili Joy (R&B) Lili Joy brings some seriously 70s retro vibes with the lush production that is DWYCT—which stands for “do what you can for me”. The production is verby and vinyl, with an excellent build of instrumentation throughout, driven by a delightfully funk bass that turns the track into a solid groove at the pickup. But despite the retro feel, we can’t help but feel this could’ve been a very early Ariana Grande track (back around “The Way”). The vocals are intimate and close, and use a deliciously earcandy effect similar to what Adele played with on her last album. We are really enjoying this return to classic R&B, and Lili Joy brings a maturity to the track which elevates it when compared to her peers. Rainy day coffee house vibes abound in DWYCT.
Best Lyric: “Rooftop, a kiss on the nose.”
