TRACK REVIEW: Dilettante – Easy Does It

Easy Does It pulls you into its playful, elastic sound from the outset. Buoyant vocals stretch out words and bob above the densely constructed waves of music. The bouncing, cheerful bassline is joined by steady drums before a gang of sax and brass roars into life leading into the titular catchy chorus. This seals the song’s art pop credentials perfectly. I defy anyone not to be humming along immediately.

Dilettante, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Francesca Pidgeon, grooves on this beguiling and commanding arrangement that fans of St. Vincent or tUnE-yArDs will adore. Rightly so, Easy Does It is a beautifully crafted composition that melds jazzy elements with a seamless odd pop gem. “We don’t know how good we’ve got it”…as the song so succinctly puts it.
