Hailing from Manchester’s bustling music scene, the rap duo Fieves, which consists of rapper Finnerz and DJ/producer Yves Jones, showcases immense potential with their broody but stirring single “Loss Is Loss.” This pensive hip hop offering carries a mood that is colored with a quiet sorrow, reflecting the weight of the world through introspective and broody lyrics.
Finnerz conveys a distinctive combination of being young yet carrying the weight of life experiences, as if he’s weathered many storms throughout his life. In contrast to the reflective lyrics, the beat is surprisingly lively, boasting bold and vivid drums that sound as though Yves constructed them from chopped-up samples of live drumming. The melody, made up of reversed keyboard and string samples, lends a dark, nocturnal atmosphere to the track, while a tension-building siren-like sound makes its presence known during the bridge.
“Loss Is Loss” is an engaging song that skillfully balances stirring emotions and evocative memories with sufficient energy to prevent it from becoming overly heavy or outright depressing. It’s the kind of music that fits seamlessly into a chilly, overcast fall evening, complete with a hoodie and Timbs. As Fieves continues to demonstrate their promise, listeners can look foward to more emotionally resonant tunes from this pair.
