strongboi, the musical project founded by Alice Phoebe Lou and Ziv Yamin, return with ‘dizzy’, the second single from their forthcoming sophomore album. Following the release of ‘think twice’ in July, the duo continue to explore their playful, genre-blending sound, delivering over four minutes of blissfully laid-back, funk-infused escapism.
Built around a deliciously warm, bouncy bassline, ‘dizzy’ settles into an irresistibly hypnotic groove. Funky, wah-wah-soaked guitars weave through the arrangement, accompanied by jazzy piano flourishes and a colourful wash of psychedelic-pop textures. There’s a wonderfully kaleidoscopic quality to the instrumentation, with elements of neo-soul, indie funk and dreamy pop blending effortlessly together. Alice’s soft, dreamy vocals float above the groove, adding another layer of warmth to an already inviting sound.
Rather than chasing dramatic shifts or an explosive climax, ‘dizzy’ finds its charm in letting the music breathe. The relaxed rhythm and gently swirling instrumentation create an atmosphere of carefree contentment, perfect for swaying along without a worry in the world. Like a lazy summer afternoon stretched into four glorious minutes, it’s a little slice of honey-dipped bliss.
