SINGLE REVIEW: Nothing Like Robots – i gotchu
Nothing Like Robots' ‘i gotchu’ is a creative blend of pop, rock, and hip-hop, offering a feel-good vibe with a subtle dark edge. The track opens with chiming tones, gradually building in intensity before the sultry hip-hop beat takes over, giving the song a slow but captivating energy. Lyrically, the dynamic flow fuses melodic hip-hop with rock-infused vocals, weaving between genres with ease.
Narratively, the song revolves around having each other's backs in moments of chaos—when the world feels like it’s crashing and burning. It celebrates the importance of support while also acknowledging a darker layer of never quite learning from past mistakes. Still, it circles back to the mantra of sticking together, no matter the challenges.
A mid-point tempo shift adds a sudden burst, nodding towards a Pendulum-style drum and bass moment. This clever change injects energy into the track without breaking its flow. It’s a smart mix of rock foundations, hip-hop soul, and an accessible pop beat, creating an evocative and distinctive sound. ‘i gotchu’ balances its darker themes with moments of connection, making for a unique, genre-bending track from Nothing Like Robots.
