so free - Sachin (HipHop/Pop) Multi-talented Sachin melds retro and modern sensibilities into his newest gem, so free. It’s always a pleasure to find an artist who raps just as well as he sings, and in this track we are treated to both. The choruses give us real Andre 3000 Outkast vibes, especially his more pop-friendly records. When speaking of retro, we’ve got a Billie Jean-esque drum loop driving through the track as shimmering, warbling synths float in the background like summer haze, before a welcomed funk guitar enters at the end to bring it all home. From his references and throwback influences to his use of close harmonies in little punches of background vocals that are pure candy, Sachin shows us all that he’s not just a performer, he’s a musician. This track has big crossover hit vibes.

Best Lyric: “I do this for my kind, yeah they love the way I shine.”
