HIT THE NOTE: GOOD BOY BAD WAYS, AN ALBUM REVIEW PART 3
THE PROMISE OF REINVENTION, TIKO$E TAKES US ON A RIDE.
“Final form”, from the title alone feelings of excitement at
drawn parallels hits the eager listeners. On theme with the already noted
transformation of TIKO$E on easily his best body of work yet, Final form speaks
to the fans directly. A promise of further change and delicious fruits of
coming projects tugs at the heartstrings of loyal listeners.
The sensual track is laced with promises of a reinvention, as
the seductive strumming of the guitar accompany the smooth vocals of TIKO$E,
whose confidence shines through on the track. It reads like a prophecy and not
a promise as he belts “O Lord this ain’t final form”, a sure fire to the point
fact, which I would argue has been apparent since the first notes of the album
tore through the air.
The rhythm is slow, and meditative, not flashy, with unmistakable hints of BOLERO influence guiding the track as it goes and hard to miss at the drop of the first note, it is somewhat reminiscent of “Tuyo, by Rodrigo Amarante”, unequivocally seamless and timeless.
This track further cements that TIKO$E, has really stepped
into his own, he is unafraid to experiment and proves this with “Final Form”.
