A Song about ‘Familiar’ Emotions
Like ‘Versace on The Floor’ by Bruno Mars, ‘Familiar’ allows the song’s percussion, synths and retro-sounding guitars to hold the mood of the song. The staccato like rhythm allow the song to remain minimal while delivering lyrics that tug on the heartstrings.
The vocals on ‘Familiar’ are laid-back, smooth and seem effortless, allowing a bit of Zhang’s bright tone to shine through. Her almost sultry delivery on the track makes the honesty found in the lyrics approachable.
The lyrics read like journal entries after a break-up. Zhang sings about not wanting to move on and wanting to remain ‘…tangled up in this old familiar love’. These words seemingly capture the mood of the song. This is also aided by the song’s chill instrumentation.
‘Familiar’ is an ode to a love that is in the process of leaving. The sultry beat and laid-back vocal delivery seem to highlight this heartbreak’s pervasiveness in a cool manner.
It’s easy to picture listening to the song on a midnight drive. Cindy Zhang’s sultry, soft vocal and flowing synths help the soundscape speed past the listener.
