Cholly is a producer and singer-songwriter from United Kingdom. Harboring a passion for musical experimentation, the artist’s sound profile is fluid and carries refreshing perspectives. Cholly’s EP, The Daydream showcases the diverse musical expression of the artist.
The breakout song is the album’s namesake, The Daydream. The scintillating synths weave their neon threads into the whimsical sticky beats employed by the artist. We also see an echoing celestial harmony creates an illumination of space in the musical weave. Divided into three phase, the song transitions from its initial mystical flow, to explore a glaringly tense and urgent soundscape, in its second phase. In the final phase of the song, we see a faint and dying blend of the first two phases.
Are You Real is the second track of the album. The song has a misty quality reminiscent of a rainy day. Wispy vocals and echoing harmonies slowly escape from the synth and beat canvass like smoke from a bonfire. The artist creates mind boggling synth arcs within the song that ripples and scurries across the song. She also uses muffled and blunt synth melody blocks to bring out the obscure reality of the song’s theme.
MAD sports an electronic bass groove that lines the song The artist beautifully layers it with jumpy synths and sweet soprano vocals; a saccharine escape from the groveling bass. The artist uses varying tempos and percussive expression throughout the song that keeps you guessing.
Trash TV is the penultimate song of the album. Using skirting melodies with high frequency beats, the artist uses fading vocals to guide the song. The vocals is layered between the translucent veil of the synth melodies and electronic bass trajectory. The vocals stitch the extreme musical textures of the dancing synths and tense bass and reconciles their melodies to form a sonic soundscape.
The Swimming Pool ends the album with hypnotizing vocals that triggers a prolonged daze. With purple hazy flows, the song flows with the slow pace and laziness of sadness. The artist uses layers the song with harmonies and swerving bass lines that puts you in trippy stupor that ebbs and leaks from your brain. The song emits the soft pink glow of a blood moon and a broken heart.
