“Unconditional” by Michae O. combines infectious rhythmic integrity, shapely, well-written melodies, and skillful vocals to bring us something both unique and exciting. If you aren’t dancing along to the beat, you’re probably obsessing over Michaels O.’s warm, acrobatic vocal stylings. Truly, this song floats by so smoothly, you’ll get lost in it.
The song begins with a crisp, bright drum beat and an ethereal vocal sample. Within a few moments, the first chorus begins. Not only is the melody incredibly catchy, but the accompanying harmonies fill up the sound with warmth, vitality, and interest. It’s the kind of chorus that, pretty much immediately afterward, you want to hear again. Luckily, the verse is just as decadent. This is where we get the privilege of experiencing Michael O.’s full range of vocal capabilities. As he casually flips through runs and quickfire, syllabic melodies, the listener can’t help but feel rather impressed. The percussion and guitar flowing underneath are welcome additions, keeping the simple yet effective atmosphere alive.
Stay tuned for a peek at Michael O.’s sultry falsetto, and an amalgamation of new textures and rhythms as the slow-burn build plays out. There’s no denying that this song checks all of the necessary boxes to be a good dance track. But, quite frankly, it exceeds the expectations for goodness and instead borders on brilliance. The musicianship and performance on this track are unrivaled. That being said, give Michael O. a follow and a stream on your choice of social media platform or streaming service!
