WuZi merges two completely different musical universes on “If I Was High”—a fresh single that lives right at the crossroads of deeply emotional songwriting and that groove-heavy electronic production we all crave. Instead of keeping these influences separate (which would be boring, honestly), the track throws everything into one chaotic, beautiful room.
The result? Something that’s simultaneously intimate yet rhythmically captivating.
At the core of “If I Was High” sits this fascinating vocal performance—picture an indie folk singer taking her very first tentative steps into electronic territory. It’s like watching someone dive into unknown waters, you know? This bold move creates this really intriguing character that sets up the typically emotional, song-driven writing against a production foundation that’s totally rooted in house music.
The contrast doesn’t feel forced though. It becomes this natural part of the track’s DNA, where vocals and electronic elements dance around each other in this unexpected harmony.
What really stands out here is how WuZi makes the production absolutely central to the entire experience. The groove-centric approach maintains that forward momentum throughout “If I Was High,” but somehow—and this is the magic trick—it never sacrifices the emotional core of the songwriting.

This single refuses to pick a side. It doesn’t go full electronic music mode, nor does it play it safe in the indie folk lane. Instead, it explores this fascinating question: what happens when these two seemingly opposite approaches meet organically?
The answer is pretty compelling.
