โGetting Closeโ by Reb Parker is like stepping into a dream, one filled with late-night conversations and the magnetic push-and-pull of intimacy. This Norwegian RnB/neo-soul duo has crafted an EP thatโs as smooth as silk yet layered with all the messy, complex emotions that come with connection. Each track explores a different shade of closeness, whether itโs intoxicating, confusing, or outright toxic.
The title track, โGetting Closeโ, eases you in with an almost hypnotic qualityโsoft vocals that feel like a gentle mantra, floating over delicate guitar chimes and a laid-back beat. Itโs that moment of emotional surrender, where you let yourself melt into someoneโs presence, wrapped in warmth and uncertainty all at once.
Then comes โIf There Ever Wasโ, shifting gears with a groove that clicks, taps, and patters in the best way possible. Itโs effortlessly catchy, with a piano line so immersive you could fall into it. The vocals are confident, engaging, and laced with an intensity that pulls you deeper into the trackโs introspective mood.
Closing out the EP, โThe Best Person I Know Wears Your Nameโ is a sonic haze with a shimmering blend of deep bass, jittery yet sparkling rhythms, and a calm, almost ghostly piano hiding beneath it all. The vocal delivery is delicate, dreamy, and completely entrancing, like someone lost in a trance of longing.
Reb Parker delivers an EP that doesnโt just sound goodโit feels good. Itโs intimate, immersive, and the perfect soundtrack for nights spent tangled in emotions you canโt quite name.
