Melodics stay woke7/29/2023 In fact, I’m not even sure if this could be considered within the musical genre of trance, but at this point I’m inclined to believe anything that comes from Tiga’s mind, so I won’t push the issue. It offers a different take on the previous track, but doesn’t sound quite as polished as the rest of the EP. ‘You’re So Special (Trance Mix)’ is the B side to the EP. These slightly disappointing sentiments ride on top of a slightly delayed slightly melodic staccato instrumental with a hefty mouthfeel and sweet aftertaste. There’s just no way that Tiga could be speaking directly to all of his millions of listeners at once on this record. All listeners will really want to be the someone that TIga is talking to, but Tiga is most certainly talking to someone who is actually special. The mystery vocal bit is quickly identified in track two, ‘You’re So Special.’ Tiga’s famously reassuring voice proceeds to very unsarcastically let someone know that they are so special, giving, flexible, that they have a diet, and are not judgmental. Act three brings in an ethereal additional mystery vocal bit that-spoiler alert-is actually from the second track of the EP. Act two introduces a more melodic acid bass that floats onto the mix, providing the track with increased depth and intrigue. Either way, the person in question is already solidly cool and even helping to keep others in the same state. Most people who do not need an airplane ticket either have no need to travel, or no need to pay someone to travel, such as an individual who owns their own airplane, or even a faster form of transportation such as a rocket. Act one is sparsely populated with only the most important audio elements, giving space to ponder the reasons why one would not need an airplane ticket, and why that information might be relevant when spoken aloud. Amid a very Tiga 909 percussive loop and drippy acid bass, the lyrics “stay cool,” ‘I don’t need an airplane ticket,” and “hold your position” step in to reassure listeners who might be feeling uneasy. ‘Stay Cool’ provides the much needed but often forgotten instructions for those in crisis. It’s only right that the two have come together on a collaborative EP. Tiga reciprocated with a infectious remix of ‘Under the Gun’ from Clarian’s debut album Television Days. Stay Cool continues to expand Tiga’s linage, growing the family tree along classics such as ‘Let’s Go Dancing,’ ‘Bugatti,’ ‘Eye Luv U,’ and most recently, ‘Woke.’ Though Clarian is news to me, he is not news to Tiga, having worked along side the master for material on 2016’s No Fantasy Required LP. Montreal based Turbo boss Tiga has teamed up with Montreal based dreamy newcomer Clarian to produce a hot love triangle of tracks. It's time to mix up the format with a collection of all three of our main editor's opinions on the new Tiga and Clarian EP, Stay Cool.
