So Much Deeper Than Business

Vic Mensa “Orange Soda”

I’ve been meaning to post this song for months now, but I’ve found it to be weirdly difficult to write about. “Orange Soda” has a slick, warm groove that feels incredibly comfortable, maybe too comfortable – my mind kinda shuts off when I hear it, and I just go along with the groove without thinking too much about it. Mensa’s performance is fantastic, he has that rare gift of being able to switch between R&B vocals and rapped verses very fluidly, and has roughly the same level of skill for both. I like the melody he brings to his verses, and the way the bass notes seem almost too warm, like being in a room that’s heated a bit too much on a cold day.
