Noname Casts A Jazzy Spell Onto Perplexing 'Song 32'

The fascination with Noname's transfixing lyrics means that any time once she drops a new track, the world salivates. Her voice is usually frighteningly calm as she waxes and waxes without breathing or changing her expression. She just goes. "Song 32" is her latest drop also it continues the enchantment thanks to its long, mellow spell. As it stands now, there's nothing quite as calming as a new Noname record in this music space.


It's 55 degrees outdoors, 8:32 in the morning, and sun is peaking by means of the clouds: This is a feel that "Song 32" gives you, a mellow morning on spring, uneventful and plain. The production's what you get any time once you casually dip into the earnestness of neo-soul yet speed it up a tad with veiny drums. Noname's breathless rhyme pattern sounds at residence, and lovely here. "I'm America at its best," she exclaims, then repeats, letting the song breathe in between each word. She repeats "yippee ki-yay" while in the song like she's John McClane from Die Hard or a cowboy on the plains. Although the energy is beautifully played against the song's calmness, backed up by her transfixing lyricism and flow patterns. It's a beautiful mix of beauty that calms the nerves.


"Song 32" is a follow-up to "Song 31" that she released earlier this year. Her sophomore album, Room 25, came out last year. Her two latest records could signal a new project on the horizon from her, but let's bask in her latest tunes for now. Stretch out on the couch while you're at it. Grab some red grapes from the freezer and open the window.
