Kaiwyn’s latest single is a tune that is brimming with indie pop charm. Everything from its restrained and shy vocals to its flamboyant rhythm shapeshifting, to the sweet melodies all over the song, ‘Off and On’ is a delightfully engaging listen.
Latest single from Kaiwyn, an Australian singer and songwriter based in New South Wales, ‘Off and On’ follows his single ‘Cupiditised’ which received wide acclaim. ‘Off and On’, and its colorful and quirky clip, are both dripping with indies charm. The lo-fi clip is heartful, and the music is incredibly attractive.
With a solid mix that lends a healthy heft to all of the song’s elements, ‘Off and On’ pays close attention to its lyrics. Precisely, to the disjoined nature of connection that we currently go for in our dating experience, reducing people to mere left or right swipes on a screen. Kaiwyn’s commentary might be upbeat, but the topics at hand are anything but, and his handling them with such grace is a hallmark of a lyrically gifted songwriter. The song’s shapeshifting rhythm is nothing short of brilliant. Creating engagement as the beat changes its skin with each consecutive transition between verse and chorus, it is easy to say that ‘Off and On’ can be called anything but boring.
Kaiwyn’s latest is a song that continues to showcase him as a talented songwriter and lyricist whose songs deal with properly weighty topics, handled with a trademark lightness that make them breezy, soft, and gentle pop tunes. ‘Off and On’ follows in those same footsteps. An essential piece of commentary on one of the most bizarre methods of connection that we as humans have ever perceived, wrapped in a tastefully colorful frock.
