The new tune from Brooklyn’s Lemonade, ‘Skyballer’, is European disco with all the bells and whistles attached. Quite literally in the latter’s case.
By slapping a supremely upbeat synth motif over bubbly bass pops, cotton candy guitar hooks and sprightly snares, co-producer and fellow New Yorker L-Vis 1990 mask his cohorts’ angsty declaration, ‘you say our love isn’t true, it’s just something that we do’ under a shimmering, nostalgic patina. Tinged with melancholy but deliriously catching; who in the world can resist the tropical taste of a trilling traffic whistle anyway?
