Body Language “Just Let It”

“Just Let It” falls at just the right spot on the curve of a trend that it simultaneously sounds fresh and nostalgic at the same time. This sort of bright and perky laptop indie pop has been going strong for over a decade now, but it’s still a young and developing genre. (Maybe we should have an actual name for it?) It doesn’t sound dated just yet, but there’s something in that main synth riff that takes me right back to…hmmmm…let’s say 2007? Maybe 2011? But regardless of chronology, the sound feels so joyful and young. I bet in the future, you’ll be hearing a lot of music that sounds a bit like this in tv and films to signify fun times in the late 2000s to mid 2010s. Maybe they’ll use Chvrches or Ellie Goulding or Purity Ring, maybe they’ll use this exact song. But it’s all that one specific and kinda ineffable ~feeling~, like the world is only lit with neon fluorescent lights.
