Pieces of A Man “Nothing to Lose”

“Nothing to Lose” is a gospel pop song with a slightly tilted arrangement – not enough that it disrupts the grace and beauty of the harmonies or subverts the gospel-ness of the music, but in the way the electronic production and vaguely trap-ish drum programming shift expectations in subtle ways. It’s a gorgeous piece of music from the chord progression on up to the particular vocal inflections of the singers, which shift from joyous moments of unity to smaller, more personal declarations of love and faith. There’s an odd sort of gravity to this song – it feels so rooted to the earth, but it some moments the music seems to levitate.
