Overall Impression: Harnessing the healing power of time and a positive mindset, Let It Go by Hip Culture gives listeners strength to roll with the punches and move on. This new Pop tune is full of catchy melodies, colorful instrumental work, and an empathetic feeling of kindness. The groove opens gently with piano and guitar, but soon builds in excitement and nearly bursts at the seams with liveliness. Fans of Latin music relish in the nylon-string guitar work, which uplifts the tune with colorful style. The vocals carry the song with an attractive tone that is perfect for Pop. They deliver the song’s message clearly with feeling and flair. Lyrically, Let It Go encourages being kind to yourself and the realization that life is full of tough speed bumps. It reinforces the mindset that you can get through anything with time and perseverance. With the release of Let It Go, Hip Culture provides listeners with strength by way of an easy listening experience.
Strongest Point(s): Let It Go has a very cool build up. It starts out quite intimately, but gradually grows with excitement, color, and emotion. While this is true of many tunes, Let It Go pushes the build up a bit further than the rest. Its mood brightens, and the feel becomes so much more extroverted. Nicely done.
