Released on September 5, “Talk” by SUUNCAAT is a metapop track that pulls the listener into a captivating fusion of gritty grunge and electrifying beats. The song opens with hazy, grungy guitar riffs that feel like they’re surfacing through a fog, soon lifted by UK-inspired breakbeats that buzz, crash, and fall like waves against the shimmering, ambient backdrop. The pulsating soundscape, paired with softer melodies, turns the song into something introspective and kinetic.
Bathed in reverb, SUUNCAAT’s soft and delicate voice is almost ghostlike and almost techy, as it complements the swirling harmonies that create an expansive sense of space. The lyrics, witty and relatable, tap into the problems neurodivergent people face with modern love. She candidly delivers her lines, making them feel personal and intimate, still widely relatable in a very obvious and casual way, thus lightening the mood nonchalantly.
As “Talk” builds towards the end, cinematic melodies begin to swell and mix with the bustling drums to create a sensational climax that feels both cathartic and grand.
The accompanying music video, directed by Arlo Ed, illustrates visuals mirroring the song’s natural candor, with the singer hopping playfully over rocks, all bathed in a cool, blue color grading. The imagery of water adds a sense of fluidity and calm, balancing the more intense musical moments, while the blue hues enhance the song’s dreamy, reflective nature.
Listen to “Talk” by SUUNCAAT if you love dreamy and deeply relatable music that you can return to time and time again.
