Single Review: Play By Your Rules

Paua’s latest single Play By Your Rules is so smooth and catchy, driven along with the hipest reggae beat that warms your heart and gets you bopping along instantly.

Loaded with the most soulful and harmonious choral singing you could imagine, it’s upbeat and fun with a very island come summer reggae feel. I love the sweet little sax solo that pops up early in the track, it all just makes you feel good.

The beauty of the music almost belies the songs subject matter of class and demographic divide, the lyrics are topical and very thought provoking with comments like “while so many struggle just to get a piece of bread, the rich seem to never have enough”.

Overall this delightful track is stimulating and refreshing, where the upbeat feel and its cool melody keep you enlightened and hooked, while its significant lyrical message is compelling and meaningful.
