KALAKARI‘s “Ricochet,” spun by Ari of Lev Productions, nails it with a soulful, mid tempo groove. A sunny, feel-good vibe shines from the track, perfect for any time.
From the jump, “Met the old me, face to face, eye to eye,” KALAKARI sets a reflective tone. She talks about shedding past burdens, vividly described as a “briefcase of bullshit.” This line paints a picture of the weight of old grievances.
The chorus, “He said, we see not as it is but as we are,” suggests our reality mirrors our inner state. This gem of wisdom is spot-on and relatable and prompts a bit of a journey into self. KALAKARI‘s voice, mellow, clear, and soothing, glides over tight drum patterns and groovy bass lines, crafting a rich, textured sound. The addition of acoustic guitar and a horn section in the chorus enhances the dynamic feel.
The refrain, “Sway baby sway, Up-level ricochet,” serves as both an anthem and a call to awaken – pushing listeners to tap into and showcase their inner strength.
“Ricochet” shines not just for its catchy hook and beat but also for its theme of bouncing back and evolving. Born from the singer’s travels to and throughout India, this piece reels in themes of personal healing and change with breezy soul sounds.
