Heavy with sex appeal, Tommy Down’s new funk-inspired track mellows disco synths and guitar into a languid, unhurried seduction. The chorus is simple with Down repeatedly chanting ‘super, super-ficial oh yeah…’ , lengthening each syllable to create a dreamy, sultry landscape of a smoke-filled underground bar.
The imagery of this track is vivid partly due to the melody but also partly due to the lyrical narrative that Down builds; citing Arctic Monkeys as lyrical inspiration, Down wanted to tell a story with this track, taking his listeners on a meandering path from beginning to end.
