Review: "Hello" - Pusa

“Hello” is a relatable track about the war between one’s heart and head after falling in love. Norwegian artist Pusa brings these issues to the surface in this energetic dance track which reflects on a past relationship. The main chorus is simple, yet effective. It reads as follows, “Still love you, it’s painful.” It speaks volumes about the current condition of their relationship, and just how many feelings are still left behind. There is also a sense of nostalgia laced between many of Pusa’s words; it seems their separation came as a result of timing and circumstances rather than a lack of love. This sense of loss will surely be relatable to any pairing who have had to let go of each other for circumstantial reasons, or even for personal growth. Looking back and remembering fondly of the good times is something “Hello” also allows us to do. Now that we know its meaning, let’s break down how Pusa’s brand new single “Hello” sounds. 

This track does a fantastic job of incorporating electronic dance elements into a more chill and smooth overall tone. As a producer and solo artist, Pusa creates a breezy beat intertwined with playful instrumental breaks. Combined with fantastic vocals and a catchy chorus, “Hello” possesses the full package of a dance pop hit. The mood of “Hello” almost makes you forget how introspective its lyrics are. When I picture where I would want to hear this song most, it’s driving in the car during an extra orange summer sunset. If you aren’t convinced already, take a listen for yourself.

Pusa is the talented dance-pop and EDM producer who made “Hello” happen. His breakout track entitled “No Sweat” provided him a viral moment on the internet; one which he took advantage of to now earn international radio play and an extremely loyal fanbase. Born in Norway, Pusa is an artist who finds inspiration in fellow electronic dance music producers such as Clean Bandit, Martin Garrix, and Sam Feldt. EDM has a unique way of lifting the spirit, and Pusa’s musical goals are to create something he wants to blast through his own speakers for a jolt of energy. He is not only a solo artist, he often collaborates as one half of the duo Pusa & Bikkja. Since 2021, they have been creating for the electrifying EDM genre together.
