However, she uses this to her advantage, contrasting the simple production at the beginning with more complex instrumentation as the song builds, filling in the empty spaces with fuller, lusher synths, horn samples (or perhaps even real horns?), and powerful mixing on the vocals. I initially thought the empty quality of the first 20 seconds made the track seem rather pedestrian, the emptiness more a problem with the production than a conscious choice. Sabrina Claudio begins the single with a solid (if a bit average and underproduced) base of chords, kick, and lightly reverberated vocals. This song is a slow burn, its success reliant not on the element of surprise but instead on its ability to subtly fold layer after layer of new sound into the mix, each additional shift contributing to a more well-rounded production. However, as I continued to listen, distractedly bobbing my head along while scrolling through the internet, I reached the hook and found myself enjoying the song much much more than I had originally anticipated, within 45 seconds convinced this was one of the best tracks I’d heard all week and quickly restarting the song to see what I had missed. A simple blend of the R&B and neosoul sounds we know and love–moist synths, measured rim shots, intermittent kick and Sabrina Claudio’s earthy tone–but with an overall impression of being underproduced. When I first heard the opening chords of Sabrina Claudio’s newest single, “ Unravel Me”, I thought it was nothing special.
