The magic of “It Comes and It Goes” is in just how well the track never comes down. For those looking for “Promises” 2.0-and there’s a wide population that certainly is-look no further. This feels like a conscious attempt at making a redux of that hit, as every production trick-from the bassline dropping out for the hook to the subtly hidden kicks in the mix rising up over everything-gives the dubstep feel of the track overwhelming heft. It’s one of their signature skills, and it’s what made the aforementioned “Promises” so great.
#Nero the thrill lyrics how to#
Impressively enough, Nero’s figured out how to work dub-reggae swing into pop dubstep. And the builds here are constructed to open more space for bigger vocal runs, underlining a pair of producers who understand the intricacies of properly working with a vocalist. The way it’s allowed to weave into the production itself makes it a far more melodic tool. The searing synths and undulating bassline punctuated by a metronomic beat do very little to hide the real star of this track, Watson’s topline vocal. “Circles”īetween II Worlds leads off with “Circles,” a sumptuous, mainstream dance-pop single. Feeling like the first official chapter in a story whose ending is sure to eclipse its already impressive start, this album successfully proves that awfully impressive pop sounds exist beyond dubstep. If looking for an album showcasing depth and surprising breadth of musical skills, this is a must-listen. For what producers Daniel Stephens and Joe Ray can do in a studio, Alana Watson proves more than able to equal behind a microphone. Now over a decade into their career, Nero’s message on this album is clear: They’re more than a bass-powered dance act now, and they’re attempting to prove themselves capable of being chart-quaking pop stars.

Reception I remember being at a low key show at a college and one of the kids told me about the song and he said 'man you'll be that dude if you sample the song' So I immediately went home, started thinking of some bars, went to the studio and recorded it and it was one of those songs that we took on the road and made our own videos for, and performed it, and the world loved it and I'm happy that it's available on all streaming platforms and that people can enjoy it the way that they need to now."
