WuZi brings together two disparate musical worlds on “If I Was High,” a new single built on the intersection of emotionally charged songwriting and groove-centric electronic production. The song does not separate these influences into different ideas, but throws them all into the same room, making for a sound that is both intimate and rhythmically engaging.
The vocal performance of an indie folk singer taking her first steps into electronic music is the heart of “If I Was High.” That move leaves the track with an interesting character, setting up a style commonly associated with emotional, song-led writing against a production base rooted in house. The contrast becomes a natural part of the track’s identity, with the vocals and electronic elements able to play off each other.
WuZi’s approach makes the production especially central to the experience. The groove approach keeps the momentum going on “If I Was High,” while still keeping the emotional heart of its songwriting intact. The single doesn’t fully embrace electronic music or stick to the indie folk lane, but rather explores what can happen when those two approaches meet organically.
