Chillwave and modern pop are melded beautifully in Toro y Moi’s ‘Girl Like You’, which is highly recommended listening. Its combination of relaxed, funky beats and dreamlike synth textures produces a sound that’s at once soothing and toe-tappingly seductive. The vocals have a relaxed coolness, delivered in a soft but expressive style that matches the song’s easy-going feel. The lyrics are simple,, but eloquent, evoking in anyone who has ever thought about the mystery of attraction and connection. But ‘Girl Like You’ is proof that Toro y Moi are capable of writing music that is at once classically modern and traditionally warm, making it the perfect song for chilled-out get-togethers and quiet evening seclusion.
