There is an infectious element to music that does not take itself too seriously but still manages to provide a sincere entertainment value and zukrassverliebt has nailed that with Way Too Hot. This father-son German duo has made a pop song that is easy to dance to that also uses metaphors of attraction and heatwaves to make something both funny and rather insightful.
The vocals work well with the rest of the production, which is well balanced and carries that right amount of charm and energy to sell the playful premise. The way it is delivered is airy, as is the way it approaches the subject of being so attracted to someone that it’s overwhelming, but in a non-serious way that makes you smile before you even know it.
The production is Caribbean-flavored which makes it driving and energetic to the point of getting your body to move. The catchy hook sticks in your head almost immediately, which is exactly what this type of pop confection requires in order to be successful. The beat does not lag at all, but rather continues to move forward and keep the listener focused.
What is brilliant about the idea is the way it employs the universal experience of extreme weather to act as a metaphor of both personal attraction and shared global experience. In a world where there is so much division, everyone can connect with being subjected to oppressive heat- be it real or figurative. It is a remarkably cohesive idea in a conspicuously playful package.
The song gives just what it states, pure entertainment to be played on dance floors and party playlists. It will not make you question your worldview but it is a success in the chosen lane. Sometimes the task of music is just to make you move and smile, and this father-son duo knows the task well. The quality of the production helps to carry the idea, which leaves room to the catchy beat and the light-hearted vocal style.
