“MISS YOU” BY SUGAR SCARS : A DREAMY JOURNEY THROUGH LONGING AND DESIRE
3 min read
One thing I’ve realized about music is, sometimes lyrics play little role as to how people will resonate with a song and sometimes too it plays a pivotal role. But to be able to find the perfect balance between the lyrics and the beats is what makes artists geniuses. Especially when you’re able to craft deep emotional sentiments into beats and lyrics in a way that either without the beats or the lyrics the song still achieves it aim is what Sugar Scars, comprising the duo Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas, has done on their latest single titled “Miss You” from their latest album “Rhythmic Body Reflexes.” A song that beautifully captures one in their feelings and takes them through a journey of longing and desire, coupled with the sudden moments of sadness that comes after longing for that special person for longer.
Now this song Miss You by Sugar Scars is really an intriguing piece, the way it infuses psychedelic-electronic-dance elements with glimpses of shoegaze, which creates this dream pop atmosphere where the listener reflects on moments of joy, longing, happiness and sadness, while going beyond conventional musical boundaries. The track which is the second single on the album after their highly acclaimed single “Haight,” which we got it covered on here continues to demonstrate the desire and relentlessness of Sugar Scars’ ability to blend different genres of music or influences to make their own unique creations. If you listen to their album, you will see how unique their beats are and one may think they all sound the same, but each has its uniqueness without deviating from their signature style. The moment you hit the play button, those synth strings together with the beautiful notes of bongos captures your attention, gets you hooked and takes you to a dreamland where you begin to reflect on those fond moments with that special person. Then Vladimir Crabone’s soothing, beautiful, soulful and haunting vocals laying emphasis on a beautiful love story plagued with sadness, longing and introspection. Man the emotional content in here is deep and strikes your soul soo hard and makes you fall in love with the song. As the song progresses, you realize this energy the beats brings, which can also be a relief from the longing and yearning, and change your moody atmosphere into a dance where you imagine that particular dance you guys have and those smiles pops up. It’s a beautiful song that has it all and I love it. If you’re familiar with Sugar Scars, you will know how perfect they are in putting together complex emotions into their tracks, this track is of no exception. With lines like “I miss you, I miss your body, I miss the truth and I miss your dream” goes on to show how the depth of emotions they pen down in their lyrics. What I love more about the song is how the lyrics don’t overwhelm the beats, giving the listener room to be consumed by the song’s atmosphere.
Now this album “Rhythmic Body Reflexes,” is really a captivating piece of mastery and beautiful musical experience. The way the songs have been arranged, from Haight to Miss You to Stagnant and down to the last track, you’re promised a beautiful musical journey that will change your musical taste. The way each song has its identity and message really makes the album an intriguing piece that deserves your attention.
