“Dale” by newest Rostrum Records signee My Favourite Color is an absolute temple-slapper. Enchanting strings and surgically plucked guitar notes lull the listener into the melodic fabric of the track before slapping them across the face with a criminally smooth bassline. Utilizing a plethora of vocal effects and raw vocals, My Favourite Color captures the adrenaline rush of whipping it past felony-speed limits down country roads without care, inspiring the hook: “Whip it like I’m 88.” The track’s distorted bassline and understated melody create a beat impossible not to bop to, giving room for My Favourite Color’s MC to spit witty one-liners between dance movements. In a time where cultural meeting points are needed more than ever, “Dale” by My Favourite Color is a perfect mesh of genres that will get anyone moving and forgetting their worries, weaving confident bars between the thumping melody: “I just drove a Tesla to the trap / I don’t think it’s even on the map.” When you hop in the whip today, seriously consider banging this track.
