Drea the Vibe Dealer “Catastrophe”
“Catastrophe” is stacked with the sort of ear-catching bits that someone could sample and extrapolate into another song entirely – the slinky guitar part at the top of the song, the chiming chords at the start of the chorus, the ba-da-boop keyboard sound that punctuates the hook, the slight drag on the beat. Drea the Vibe Dealer is truly dealing in strong vibes here, and this extends to how she records her vocal so her jazzy phrasing slurs slightly in heavy reverb without sacrificing the nuances of her singing. Maybe the best way to put it is that it’s sort of painterly – photorealistic, but smudged and blurred a bit for style.
