Lush beat, breathy groove bathed in the golden tone of contemporary R&B and poised urban jazz inspirations, “Too Close” dives into the danger of losing objective with loved ones. Taking shape in the realization and reflection of personal experience, Allan Low embraces brutal honesty in his lyricism. Cathartic and melancholy, “Too Close” is evocative and addictive to the ears.
The vaguely colored falsettos put a romantic distance between the listeners and the music. It subtly touches on frustration and confession. The mixture of influences floats in the background contributes to the complex, ever-changing feelings, adding layers into the storytelling.
“Too Close” glows in the fresh, urban contemporary production, drawing influences from the nostalgic era without sinking deeply into the past. Low gives those poised classics new meaning in his music, where they become timeless and radiating.
