Ness – Infrared [Single]

Ness‘s “Infrared” stands out as a prime example of modern R&B, drawing listeners in with its warm and enticing vibes. The track, characterized by its cozy and slightly hedonistic flair, resonates with a chill-relaxed vibe that’s both mysterious and entrancing. Ness‘s vocals, like delicate threads woven through the song, have a light and breezy quality that captures your attention, giving off a slightly luxurious vibe.

The hard work of producers Esai and Chini is clear in their arrangement of a rich synth bass, echoing guitar strums, and soft horn patterns, which all build a backdrop that lifts Ness‘s vocals. The production choices, favoring smooth transitions and a gradual build, allow the song to breathe, evolving organically and lets the song’s let’s-just-enjoy-this-moment theme shine through.

In its lyrics, “Infrared” dives into the gentle sides of love and charm, with lines like “Eye to eye it feels like ecstasy/ Baby wrap me ’round your energy” showing the intimate, visceral nature of shared intimacy between two souls. It is a song that does not demand over-analysis to be appreciated; its beauty lies in its simplicity, in the effortless way it encapsulates moments of connection and the ineffable sense of joy they bring. All said, our girl Ness (aka Vanessa Oliveros) has served up a strong example of what modern R&B can be—thoughtful and soul-stirring.
