Only The Poets gives us a song that scratches deeper than the surface. The song "Mindset" allows us to discover how it feels to fall for someone who alters your mindset. We get the chance to explore what it might be like to love someone who helps open us up to new things. The song says, "Lost in my vices / But you changed my mindset / Now my mind is set on you." From my own personal experiences I can relate and connect deeper to these lyrics because I've had a relationship where I've experienced similar things. I think it's a common feeling most people have the privilege of experiencing. Towards the end of the song it says, "Thought love was dying / But you changed my mindset / Now my mind is set on you." There's an overflow of emotion and passion regarding the way the artists feel about the person they have this connection with.
The song "Mindset" is very upbeat, which makes the message of the song hold even more power. The mood is something that can only be described as hopeful and awestruck; the artists are completely encapsulated by this relationship they get to be a part of. The music itself incorporates a large amount of synth sounds and a fair amount of guitar. This works well within the song because it helps keep the upbeat tone of the piece. When we add the vocals, it adds a softer feel to the song which helps melt all of the pieces into a well constructed and cohesive piece of music. Altogether, the listener gets to soak all of these elements in while also letting the music work through them.
Only The Poets are breaking down walls within the alt pop genre of music following their international chart success, 'One More Night'. The song 'Mindset' comes shortly after their hectic tour, which included support spots for Tom Grennan and YUNGBLUD, they will be performing at the Reading & Leeds Festival in August as well. When asked about their influences within the musical realm they said, "We've taken a lot of our influences from stuff we're listening to now intertwined with Brit-pop and experimented with vocal layers and harmonies. At the back our minds we're constantly thinking about how these songs will sound live. We really wanted to go for that big, expansive stadium filler sound." Only The Poets have built themselves from the ground up from playing house parties, to pubs, to selling out 1,600 capacity venues in Europe. If they keep building their fanbase, they'll be sold out in no time. Make sure to jump on the fan wagon now!
