Aren’t we just incredibly fortunate as music lovers to exist during an era where genre-blending isn’t merely accepted—it’s downright celebrated?
"Keep It Open" by Montreal’s talented singer-songwriter Sara-Danielle serves up this absolutely delicious fusion of indie-pop and neo-soul. The track feels simultaneously light and airy while maintaining this soulfully deep, reflective quality that just hits different. Her vocals dance seamlessly between English and French, creating something truly magical.
Lyrically speaking, the song radiates this beautifully open-minded and inviting energy. Lines like: "Take me as I am / Take it as a sign / Maybe I can change / Things won’t stay the same / Can’t help it, I’ll keep it open…" just resonate on such a personal level.
The instrumentation? Pure perfection.
There’s this groove-worthy R&B drum beat that anchors everything, complemented by warm acoustic guitar work. Then those trippy, whirring keys float effortlessly in the high end—it’s honestly mesmerizing.
This is exactly the type of song that leaves you feeling completely refreshed after every single listen. A genuine breath of fresh air in today’s musical landscape.
