XX Bad by Josy B: Review
With her vibrant and energetic vocals paired with her equally serene, melodic harmonies, Josy B shows her impeccable vocal capabilities in her song XX Bad.
The keyboard eases the listeners in with its simplicity and charm, yet at the same time being heavily distorted with multiple instrumental layers; a foreshadowing of what’s to come. Josy B’s smooth voice paired with the heavy bass and the striking synth with the overall aggressive approach of the song provides a musical representation of her thoughts and feelings regarding the unfortunate demise of her relationship.
Her powerful and confident lyrics echo her intimate thoughts and express her self-identity and strength with incredible grace. Despite the lyrics not being fully understandable at places due to her technical vocality and the overwhelming amount of layered instruments, her chorus stands strong with strikingly relatable words and clear vocals and it portrays her distinct style perfectly.
The simple structuring of the song doesn’t stand in the way of the message it’s trying to get through – she’s happy and stronger than ever and you missed out.
This song is the perfect let-your-hair-down anthem, which will surely take pop culture by storm because Josy B has everything to offer. The groovy beat with self-confident lyricism is the antidote for failed relationships and exactly the kind of music people would enjoy to get up and move on. Josy B shows her flair with technicality and grandiose throughout the song and proves that she knows what she’s doing and that she is definitely here to stay.
