Put My Words In Motion

Lava La Rue featuring Biig Piig “Hi-Fidelity”

I’ve been meaning to write about this song for weeks and I think on a subconscious level I was just waiting for a day that was stiflingly humid to do so since the atmosphere of this song is very much “getting a fresh blast of air conditioning on a day when the air feels like soup.” The sound is warm and sensual but a little aloof – even with lyrics that are pretty open and direct about attraction it feels like both singers are avoiding eye contact by wearing extremely nice sunglasses. Lava La Rue’s vocals have a bit more depth and soul, but I appreciate how incredibly casual Biig Piig sounds here even when singing something as wonderfully hyperbolic as “I’d steal the moon for you.”
