Track analysis:
1 – 1 LOVE 1
To celebrate his 5th anniversary and kick off a series of consecutive digital singles, Yuma Uchida released “1 LOVE 1”.
The song brings the feelings of excitement of going into the unknown with big dreams and hopes, with the instrumental washing away all worries with its atmospheric synths.
Slowly fading in, the song brings a tight bassy beat to the spotlight, groovily leading to the chorus.
And what about that chorus? With this song embracing a nu-disco style of sound, it is undeniable how groovy and danceable this song is even as it doesn’t have much going on in the instrumental.
The funky guitars, the old-school atmospheric synths, punchy beat and bass combo and then Yuma Uchida’s emotional vocals with that unique R&B styling make this performance stand out.
On the vocal end, Uchida performs the song mostly in his sweet mid-tones however while bringing a bit of falsetto into the mix, enhancing that dreamy tone in this song.
The 2nd verse embraces an even funkier sound, bringing a fast hi-hat beat, a punchy baseline and funky guitar riffs (these playing on your right ear).
This is a geeky detail but I love the drums (toms) fill and fading splash connecting parts within the chorus. It feels so satisfying to listen to those parts gluing together the song while keeping the energy high and the song cohesive.
When “1 LOVE 1” wraps up, you’re left wanting more, much more from Yuma Uchida. This sound goes in line with what he released in “Equal” however vastly upgraded and sounding more mature, bringing nu-disco and unleashing all the groovy goodness with the listener.
This song right here is a definitive banger and a perfect start to a digital single series that I hope will be filled with highlights.
“1 LOVE 1” is available for streaming on Spotify.
