Cub Sport Share New Single ‘Replay’
Australian pop sensations Cub Sport have just shared their brand new single Replay, a propulsive house track taken from their upcoming album set to arrive next year.
I adore Tim Nelson's gorgeous vocals and how dynamic and expressive they sound, from the seductive whisper-like verses to a gossamer falsetto that glides effortlessly atop the infectious melodies. Recorded in Melbourne with Styalz Fuego (Troye Sivan, Tate McRae, Khalid) and Natalie Dunn (Charli XCX, Blackpink) Replay captures an interplay between human and heavenly that’s typified by artists like Robyn, Ariana Grande and, of course, Cub Sport patron saint Cher.
I am completely in love with those vocals that are backed by waves of sinewy sub-bass, lush synths, killer Balearic beat and rhythms that make Replay a memorable piece of glassy, gorgeous dance music with a dreamy and emotive atmosphere that oozes summer vibes! As soon as that bass hit I knew I was going to love this gem!
Replay comes with a music video, self-directed and edited by front-person Tim Nelson. Aptly described as a queer reimagining of ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’, the visual explores themes of yearning and connection as Nelson attempts to break free from a loop of scattered memories. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Tim Nelson said,
‘Replay’ is about moving forward. Feelings aren’t as simple as we sometimes make out – you can long for something and not want it at the same time, you can love something but outgrow it.I think it’s about shifting from longing for something to feeling free. But it also doesn’t have to be that deep – It’s a fun pop song and that’s how I want it to be enjoyed too.
