Burnside – Feelin’ Like [Single]

In the ever-evolving music scene, where genres coalesce, the duo Burnside showcases a fusion of funk, soul, and hip-hop with their music. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Yoi and Misio, the talented duo behind Burnside, prompt us to plunge into their debut single, “Feelin’ Like.”

This track, which filters its hip-hop sound through a lens of old-school Cadillac-quartered soul, sketches out a bold scene of wanting and fascination. It dishes out an unmistakably dope blend, merging the timeless grooves of ’70s funk and soul with the present day swagger of hip-hop. Uniting these musical elements revitalizes the past, taking listeners on a musical ride that’s simultaneously timeless and strikingly fresh.

Yoi’s charismatic tenor and Misio‘s resonant baritone weave together in a way that is altogether on point. Misio‘s verses brim with self-assuredness, setting him apart from the “fxck boys” of the world while Yoi puts a focus on the idea of endless thrills and moving full speed ahead. Through their lines the pair brings to life suggestive scenes, where a bedroom takes on the role of a stage and dressers become camera stands. While lines like “You wanna leave the club, let’s get to steppin, do the Hammer Dance” illustrate the fella’s confidently tongue-in-cheek approach to making advances. What could easily come across as cheesy in another artist’s hands has a “playful playa”, Silk Sonic-type magic coming from this duo. 

The sound that the Evoke Sounds production team laid out for “Feelin’ Like” is a work of art in itself. It begins with buttery Wurlitzer notes, setting the stage for the soul-soaked sounds to come. Slinky bass lines and funk-infused guitar strumming add layers of wavy energy, while lo-fi filtered drum chops maintain a cool-out cadence that’s impossible not to vibe with. Simple and plain: Burnside‘s “Feelin’ Like” is your ticket to a world where the past and present sync up perfectly. It’s a song that oozes old-school cool all while keeping a foot firmly grounded in the now. Put this on your must-listen list.
