Gone are the days when pop chartbusters only come from the shores of America. These days, other countries are producing super quality pop singers, and here is one from the beautiful homeland of Marbella, Spain—Wendy Halo—an icon in the making that is set to give some of the music industry’s top female pop stars a run for their money.
Wendy Halo: A Superstar In The Making
Wendy Halo is currently sitting at the number one position in the Spanish top chart, as compiled by Reverbnation. She also occupies the third position in global ratings. The beautiful singer and performer have long been a strong artist with an understandable idea to not settle for anything less, and that is sharply reflected in her latest single “Compromise.”
A Review of Wendy Halo’s Single “Compromise”
The moment I turned on the track “Compromise” on Spotify, I was instantly hooked by the soft and alluring vocals that greeted me as if I was stepping out of Eric Donaldson’s “Coming In From The Cold” masterpiece. The high-quality production from the opening few seconds easily denotes the value that characterizes the entire single, as such that one can’t help it but get immerse in the entire mix as this daughter of Europe takes you on a one-way club-ready compromise attentive drive.
You can tell from the onset that “Compromise” is a top-chart ready song. The high-hat hits are snappy and precise, with standard fast sonic beats and deep bass blending smoothly with Wendy’s charming vocals. If you’re looking for that solid summer-vibe song that you will take with you on a sunny-day drive, “Compromise” is yours for the taking.
I like the creative freedom and spontaneous sound that Wendy incorporated into this song. Everything is garnished to perfection. The production features bubbly beats creating a seesawing powerful sensation from a tidbit of sounds that compels the listener to wait for what is to come further down the line.
The keyboard and sax-like electronics pings at the beginning cleverly anchor the downbeat to a steady rise and flow of asymmetrical upbeat that bears a touch of pop and R&B alternative. “I can be your compromise…” are some of the thoughtful lyrical hotline bling that flows from Wendy’s sumptuous vocal rendition. Her crisp and clear vocals make the song a sing-along type and the lyrics more relatable. “Compromise” is a song for a lustful and love-craving soul.
But….There is something else—a silky melody alongside the soft percussion and a sense of downright surprise towards the tail end of the song—a superb hip-pop hook that no one would never have thought of coming. The song breaks down into an unexpected but powerfully orchestrated rap bust. Whoever did that rap knows exactly what he was doing. The rapper’s vocals were clear and you can catch every bit of what he was saying, despite the fast pace. The rap verse serves as a connecting rod that ties the entire project together, making it a complete structure in style and quality rendition.
Briefly, “Compromise” is a song that confirms and authenticate Wendy Halo’s artistic prowess, one that deserves every bit of credit she has been receiving in the course of her career.
