Alright, let’s dive into Need Somebody by Lamor. This little gem from the UK, released under SSM Records, is a smooth ride through Funk and Soul vibes with a dash of that UK Street Soul flavor. If you’re into soulful beats that feel like a warm hug but still have enough groove to get your feet moving, this one’s worth a spin.
First up, the "Need Somebody (Nice Mix)"—man, this track just hits different. It’s got this laid-back vibe that feels like chilling on a park bench on a sunny afternoon. The bassline is buttery smooth, and the vocals? They’re not trying too hard, which makes it feel real. You know how some songs are all about the big dramatic moments? Nah, this one keeps it simple, letting the groove do the talking. I remember it because it’s the kind of track that sneaks up on you—you’re just vibing, and suddenly you realize you’ve listened to it three times in a row. No shame in that.
Then there’s the "Need Somebody (Club Mix)", which flips the script entirely. This version is for when you wanna turn up just a notch. It’s got more energy, a punchier beat, and those synth stabs that make you wanna nod your head like, “Yeah, I’m here for this.” What sticks with me is how it builds up—just when you think it’s gonna drop into something predictable, it throws in a little twist that keeps things fresh. It’s not groundbreaking or anything, but it’s clever enough to keep you hooked.
Honestly, what I dig about this album is how unpretentious it feels. Lamor isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel; they’re just giving you two solid versions of the same tune, both bringing something different to the table. It’s like having two sides of the same coin—one for kicking back and one for getting loose.
Reflection time: You ever notice how sometimes less really is more? Like, instead of cramming 15 tracks onto an album, Lamor just gave us two killer mixes and called it a day. Feels kinda refreshing, doesn’t it? Almost makes me wanna hit repeat… again. Oh, and fun fact—I swear this album pairs perfectly with a cup of tea and a biscuit. Don’t ask me why. Just trust me on this one.
