SINGLE REVIEW: Javi Goodnite - La Playa
Javi Goodnite’s ‘La Playa’ is a vibrant slice of indie pop that captures the essence of carefree summer days with a splash of cheeky satire. Written during the band's formative post-COVID years, the track explores unrequited feelings through a lively narrative set against the backdrop of a Mexican beach.
With its up-tempo melody and splashy drums, ‘La Playa’ immediately sets a fun, energetic tone. The charming, buzzy guitars add a fresh, summery sound, while the nonchalant vocals deliver swaggering charm with an effortless vibe. The track’s vibrant, catchy rhythm and playful vocal harmonies create a real get-up-and-dance atmosphere that’s impossible to resist.
‘La Playa’ combines a subtle Latin influence with its upbeat pacing, making it feel like a perfect soundtrack for a sun-soaked beach day, even if the lyrics hint at a drama unfolding between three people—or rather, one person wrestling with their emotions. This track’s blend of tacky sweetness and infectious energy makes it an irresistible addition to any summer playlist.
