About the song "Lost In Thought" by Transverse, there is something immediate that is magnetic. It takes you by the hand (or rather by the hips) with the very first beat, not forcefully, but infectiously, almost therapeutically, as a warm embrace. As per the mission of the artist, the song is a smooth blend of pop, EDM, and rap, resulting in the soundscape that is as euphoric as it is emotionally complex.
The instrumentation is a masterclass in moderation, being both subdued and energetic, future bass sparkly and trap-influenced beats, with a touch of rock vim to keep it interesting. Transverse (aka Kade Sanders) creates a music that does not blast but rather pulls you in to *feel*, be it euphoria, nostalgia or a sweet pain of love. The vocals of AROB ride smoothly on the production and bring an emo-rap appeal, perfecting the sound to represent the intoxication and all-absorbing feeling of infatuation.
The most remarkable thing about the song is that it is equally a mood-lifter as well as the introspective journey into the heart. It is the sort of song that lets you want to dance but also lets you take a moment to think, which is quite an achievement by a genre-blurring artist such as Transverse. His quest to introduce peace to energetic music is paying off magnificently, at least going by the song Lost In Thought. It is a must hear song to those who adore music that makes the body and the soul move.
