I Miss You
Sometimes, when you are going through situations in your life, certain songs have a way of finding you and speaking directly to you. Australia’s Ta-Ku will be releasing his EP Songs To Break Up To in October but he released a song off there called “I Miss You” about two months ago. This is a song in response to Willow Smith’s “Summer Fling”. While it is hard to take the lyrics of a twelve year old to heart on the love issue, it is easy to fall for Ta-Ku’s melody that adds a sense of adultness and sensual reality to the mix. The song has two sets of vocals, a woman’s distinct voice and then an altered voice which comes off as a male companion. The lyrics touch on the simple chemistry between two people where, as many of us have experienced, one wants a relationship while the other just wants to keep everything casual, a just for fun thing. Ta-Ku puts his own seducing drum and electronic beats throughout the piece making it ever so seductive for the ears and the heart.
