Review: Soti – Take Five
The song starts with an interesting sound, the blend of an interesting background vocal. The background vocals remind of an opera performance. The song then proceeds to start strongly. The instrumental and the intro of Soti's vocals were quite seamless.
The lyrics of the song did well to pass across the message of the song. We were able to get that she was basically talking about how some people who have achieved some feats deserve a high five. Apart from that, we feel the lyrics were also rather random and it could have been better.
The melody of the song is nice and it gives off this warmth. It is actually quite memorable.
The vocal rendition was mostly average, nothing spectacular. We are just glad that we were able to hear her clearly. For us, the highlight of the vocal rendition has to be the opera-vocals we were hearing in the background.
The instrumentals of the song are just there. At least it did well not to get in the way of the audibility of the song.
The video of the song was a disappointment really. Nobody does creative storylines anymore. They will rather just string together a flashy video. We get, after all, it is show business. We caught a glimpse of what could have been in the scenes in which they were at a party of some sort. We believe a video in which people accomplish all the things she mentioned in the video would have been more interesting and creative.
