In the 5th century AD, Augustine of Hippo wrote the book The City of God, which focused on the conflict between society’s obsession with fame and fortune and the true standards of goodness and quality. Some 1600 years later, an underground alt-pop group has adopted the name. Foregoing major control for creative freedom, the City of God collective released their debut album, Rebirth of Swag, this past August, to little mainstream fanfare. Together with producer Matt LaPlant, “spacebois” Smalls, Industry, Rocko, Tiago, and “spacegurl” Tata put together a laid-back ballad about spotting someone special at their favorite hangout. While the preceding topical explanation is perhaps the most overused song setup found in the Booth, the overall feel is so fresh that it might make listeners want to Fly Away.
yeah this is a "cross-genre" song.. thats me all the way, but that chorus needs work.. she made her voice TOO deep. but anyway the verses were ok. this song is just average.
Damn the production is hot on this one!! Nice combination of genres and Im starting recently to like all these songs that incorporate the mixture of genres. The lryics is pretty good and the beat is hot!! Banger!! Chill back music
This sounds so LIVELY with the guitar & drums and that fake ending was nice. The live-like production makes my 4* granted plus the solid vocals, flow and overall melody just tell me I’m right.
uhhhh i dont like thiz....yeah itz different and thiz type of different iz not a good type thiz time. weeeeiiird. beat iz aight i guess....but everything else-...naw. i will give thiz a two but i will NEVA EVA lis-n to it again...cuz really, deep down inside somewhere....i dont like it @ all...but i know it aint garbage soooo...
FredRico I completely agree with you, this song would be insane live! The useage of instruments and production is soooo smooth, along with the creative vocals. Great song to lay back and chill to. This is music people, I'm not sleeping on this group.
I dig the live instrumentation. This reminds me of some City High/Black Eyed Peas. This is definitely eclectic and overall a real tyte joint. "In a world of cliche and the lack of creativity, innovation is the key"! (A Young Son proverb original!)
HOTTNESS!!! when live instrumentation is done right..this is how it should sound!!! Music of the past is the music of tomorrow!! Great sound...just of matter of time before these guys are on everyone tv and radio!!!
This song is just supreme. Production is excellent, music is wonderful and they are talented. I'm really feeling how they sing and the melody of the song! I don't even know how to comment this coz all I wanna say is: CLASSIC
I LIKE IT ALOT!!! WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS SONG IS THAT ITS GOOD MUSIC...I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYONE ELSE BUT I'M SO TIRED OF LISTENING ABOUT MONEY, POWER AND CRAP THAT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER...I LOVE IT...DEF A CLASSIC..THEY ARE GOING PLACES FOR REAL!
AWSOME !! Great song from a young, talented and full of hopes band. Can't wait to hear more of their stuff, they should be promoted to radio and TV faster.
I'm feelin' this. I could listen to it after a long day at work, but just the same would love to hear it live under the stars. It does have that City High feel, but that's a good change in today's music.
