Cat Ryanโs track, โLike This,โ takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions with its angular and catchy, hook-filled sound and layered instrumentals.
Just like the opening lines, โI got pulled in so fast, like a magnetic trap,โ Cat Ryan pulls you in with the sharp yet sleek sound of the instrumentals and Mary-Anneโs tenderness. Itโs like being sucked into a whirlwind of emotions, as the cover art suggests, feeling the intensity of a toxic relationship.
The instrumentals in โLike Thisโ are the real stars of the show. The angular sound and layered textures create a captivating sonic landscape that keeps you hooked from beginning to end. The song is a masterclass in blending electronic guitar with a space drumming pattern, giving it a sense of depth and richness with hazy and silky indie pop vibes.
But itโs not just about the indie instrumentals; the lyrics hit home with their raw and relatable depiction of heartbreak. Lines like โNo I never thought that it would go like this, but I always knew that you were one to missโ cut right through the heart.
Mary-Anneโs delivery is so honest and vulnerable while being ethereal, making you feel every ounce of disappointment and disillusionment. Meanwhile, the blurred wall over the sound creates a muffling and atmospheric effect, which gives way to a conscious reminiscence. The juxtaposition is perfectly complementary.
โLike Thisโ showcases Cat Ryanโs ability to create emotionally charged music that hits you in the feels. Take a nostalgic dive into vintage charm as you dip into the lush atmosphere with โLike This,โ by Cat Ryan.
