Running yourself tired? Wishing there was another version of you to help you during those times of need? Boy, do I have the song for you! “Body Double” is Emily O’Neal’s newest single, bringing on the truthful hardness of life. It’s about wanting to be seen and heard, in times of need. Growing pains affect us all, so why not relate and blast this song down the highway. Not only is the message beautifully composed, but the composition of the single is out of this world.
We immediately jump into the song with keys, fun and hoppy. The drums in the back set the pacing just right, allowing Emily’s vocals to ebb and flow between them. The chorus is soft, heartfelt, yet in a poppy sense that keeps your head moving. It gives Lola Yung’s Messy vibes. Her adlibs in the back add a dream-like essence towards the latter half of the song. She then in the bridge shows off her gorgeous vocal range, calmly yet passionately ending the song. Overall, this is a storybook song that is beautifully made to be heartfelt yet upbeat.
