ITSTALENTNIGHT display a wide range of stylistic variations on their groovy record, nailing it down with electronic elements and enough rap lyrics to move it safely within range of being listenable and danceable. The up-and-coming music duo from Los Angeles also develop a more EDM-like melodic approach that heightens the mood of their new song “We Are Who We Are.”
The song describes stifled feelings in artfully creative ways as ITSTALENTNIGHT sort through desirable aspects of having to express ourselves with cathartic finesse, purging the negativity around us while leaving our magic confidence, intact.
Worked up about the inability to truly connect with someone else, sometimes we may strive to express something and disappointingly fall short. Whether it’s being shy, insecure or just feel that something is lacking, we keep our mouths shut because we think that what we have to say won’t make a difference anyway.
Other times, we don’t even think about how to express our inner reality to those outside. It just happens naturally. Nonetheless, ITSTALENTNIGHT find pleasure in writing an honest record that aligns with your essential nature, where you realize your true worth by being free from any fear of expressing yourself.
Featuring vocals from Shay J, “We Are Who We Are” leans heavily on the cross-cultural pollination of different genres where Hip Hop, EDM and Pop intersect so thoroughly, there rarely seems to be a boundary separating the styles. Some may think there’s a chance the results will feel disjointed when everything is thrown together, but this gives the record considerable momentum even when it strolls to its destination.
ITSTALENTNIGHT perform with conviction to drive purpose and sensibility behind an extraordinary record. It contains enough emotion and imagination to earn its place among inspiring songs but even more exciting is that it makes you wanna bust a move or two as you hit the dance floor and shake yourself loose.
