Producer and singer-songwriter duo ‘dezabel’ releases a soulful and fun yet emotionally charged single, ‘Counting Up.’ Blending the smoothness of R&B with funk undertones, the track dives into the troubles of a relationship that is stretched to its limits. Built on the catchy lyric ‘If I had a dollar every time you messed up / I’d be counting up’, the song captivates the essence of the quiet frustration of loving someone who continues to let you down. The production overall showcases dezabel’s authentic sound, a beautiful mix of Zurich precision and L.A. soul, as it blurs the lines between R&B and funk. To aid in the track’s perfection, the vocal layering and clear-cut mixing leave a finish that makes the single feel both modern and timeless.
‘Counting Up’ is another outstanding track from dezabel— a track for anyone who’s ever hung onto a romance for too long, hoping love would eventually heal all wounds.
