After a nail-biting three-year hiatus, fans can finally rejoice because tsubi club is back! The beloved artist, who took a pause from his own music after releasing his debut single, "burbank house," has returned with his latest single, "laced up," a high-octane creation filled with endorphin-rushing production and spirited lyrics.
Opening with a nod to his previous single, tsubi club expresses his comfort in the scene after the wild acceptance of "burbank house." With a killer sample of Oso Oso's "This Must Be My Exit," he comes to terms with who he is. His powerful vocals over the collage of crips, neon-drenched, hyper-pop production, "Running on a feeling, thought I knew I forgot it / Neck against the ceiling, wear a suit if I got it/ Tied up for a minute, couldn't prove I was drownin'," reflect his growth and self-realization.
On the explosive chorus, his energetic vocals express that he still recognizes his freedom and doesn't want to spend his time and energy on things he doesn't want. He admits that there "Ain't no sense in thе thought, and my chest in a knot" and that he won't go anywhere with his dreams if he doesn't take the plunge and step outside his comfort zone.
The accompanying music video, co-directed by Soren [tsubi club], Chris Rey Basalo, and Stu Robinson is a masterpiece brought to life by collective creative effort. The visual continues the storyline told in "burbank house," following Soren, tsubi club's real name and character, as he fights his way off the beach he washed up on. The cinematic action scenes throughout the video, along with the impressive CGI, contribute to the aesthetic and detailed worldbuilding.
"laced up" is a spectacular return to form for the one-of-a-kind artist. It speaks to the high standard of his craftsmanship, making every second of it worth the wait. Although it would be a bit heartbreaking to endure another three years for another single, tsubi club has only proved that quality over quantity reigns supreme.
