Kaos! – Still (Digital Single – Shortlist Records)
Genre/Influences: Electro-pop.
Background/Info: Swedish electro-pop formation Kaos! strikes back with a new single. Eva Kaxe and Kristian Oscarsson have released two albums and several singles/EPs, which all are driven by electro-pop vibes. “Still” is their newest single.
Content: Sweden remains a prolific ground for electro-pop music and Kaos! is just one promising band among the list. The song is driven by a typical deep, pop bass line with a vintage touch on top. The chorus reveals a more catchy and melodic arrangement.
+ + + : “Still” remains faithful to what Kaos! has shown on their previous work. It’s an interesting electro-pop format carried by cool female vocals. The main evolution on “Still” is the accentuated melodic aspect running throughout the chorus. I also like the somewhat vintage-like flavor hanging over this cut.
– – – : One single song is not that much to get an objective perception about a band and their evolution in sound. I’m convinced they still can do better by accentuating the melodic aspect of their work.
Conclusion: “Still” is a well-crafted and efficient electro-pop song confirming the growing experience of Kaos!
Best songs: “Still”.
Rate: (7).
