Producer Undertone artist/producer Undertone is back with another quality release, releasing his latest single, “Broken Record,” hot on the heels of his most recent hits, “Rolling Circus,” “Atmosphere Analog,” and “Pomodoro.” In this release, Undertone showcases a fresh wave of creativity, inviting listeners into a world of infectious beats and an uplifting message that resonates deep within. Originally conceptualized as “Rollover,” the track underwent a transformative journey, culminating in the masterpiece that is “Broken Record.” Streaming on Apple Music now…
What sets “Broken Record” apart is its fusion of soulful R&B vocals seamlessly integrated into the composition. Undertone’s meticulous attention to detail shines through as he curates a sound palette that marries vintage elements-a classic electric piano reminiscent of 70s and 80s R&B-with contemporary EDM flair. The result is a dynamic fusion of mellow vibes and irresistible rhythms, creating a laid-back house atmosphere that is both catchy and fast-paced.
Despite its challenges, including intricate musical details such as the incorporation of a D# note in the third chord of the Gmin key, “Broken Record” stands as a testament to Undertone’s dedication to his craft. With twelve revisions and meticulous adjustments to elements like kick layers and bass sound, the track finally gelled into its polished form.
The addition of prime vocals, carefully sourced and arranged, adds depth and dimension to “Broken Record.” The balance struck between the original male vocals, with its exaggerated dedication to love, and the female vocal lyrics, introducing a message of carefulness, elevates the track to new heights.
From the impactful horns in the Bridge to the experimentation with open and closed hat sounds, every element of “Broken Record” has been finely tuned to perfection. The result? An upbeat track that could fill up any dance floor as well as make peak-hour traffic a bit more bearable.
“Broken Record” is poised to make waves this summer from beach to beach, radio to radio to the dance-floor.
