With a mellow guitar and drowned out 808s, Samuel Ivy descends into pop euphoria with new track “Me & You”. The song is themed around a love for somebody that you want to grow with, somebody that you admire “goddamn you’re so worth it, bring me back to Earth, yeah.” The chorus is easily the song’s greatest highlight, making the song play in your head long after – a pop hit is incomplete without it. “Baby if you go down, Imma bring you up, watch you buy your own house, I know you are a boss”. Catchy, love-songs are rare this year, as most artists have polarized themselves in new genre-bending, lyric-twisting spaces. We have been consuming music most reflective of the year 2020, music describing the dark uncertainty most have felt in this time. Ivy reflects on this in his song saying “2020, the whole world is acting fucked up, but you know how to ease my mind”. Produced, engineered, and written by Samuel Ivy, the song reinforces Ivy as an emerging force in the underground scene, not only producing for artists like Katana – but creating individual projects that highlight his own talents. This new track is a clear step by Ivy towards this new era of personal growth. “Me & You” draws us back to the pop music that marked legacy in the 2010’s – reminding us that not all is lost in changing times and that not all is lost in love.
