by This year we have seen several comebacks of acts that have deeply shaped our adolescence. First, we got new Vindata music back in February, then some Skrillex releases, Swedish House Mafia a couple of weeks ago, and now a track from the legendary French act, Point Point. Legends that certainly need no introduction, whose impact on the European scene (both as producers, DJs and record label’s owners) is still underestimated in my opinion. After years of silence (their latest phenomenal upload on Soundcloud was 3 years ago), they are back with exactly what no one expected.
I have heard many who were expecting some kind of follow-up to hits like ‘F+L’ or ‘All This,’ but I think it’s useless to specify that it has always been a vain and unrealistic hope. If they still had similar hits to churn out they wouldn’t have stopped, would they? With its extremely funk bass and pop touch, ‘seeyaanotherday’ day deviates significantly from Point Point’s legendary future bass sound, but not from the nature of their project. There’s no need to dig too deeply into their repertoire to find many miscellaneous influences that range from bass music to house (they’re French after all). For this reason, talking about a new Point Point sound (as in the case of Swedish House Mafia) doesn’t seem right to me. I see ‘seeyaanotherday’ more like a continuation of the same journey. While asking around opinions about the track, I surprisingly found out that some perceived the lack of a singer as a weakness. I have a completely opposite opinion. In this way, the instrumental is able to breathe. Every sound has plenty of time to shine without necessarily having to exploit only those few moments left free by the vocals. In short. Is ‘seeyaanotherday’ an instant classic? Probably not. Is it a fantastic tune, perfect for this second half of summer? Absolutely.
Given that, alongside this new release by Point Point we recently spotted new music also via Record Record, I believe we are safe to presume we can expect new releases from both of the two coming in the next season. Meanwhile, you can stream ‘seeyaanotherday’ below or on your favorite platform here.
