“Falling Back”—Tafari Anthony

Tafari Anthony airs out his frustrations and grievances with a romantic situationship he can never seem to progress with on his dazzling dance pop single “Falling Back.” The song plays with a tension and release structure—tight rhythms in the verses build up to choruses that are loose and snappy at the same time, overflowing with the zesty energy of a buoyant bass line and Anthony’s silky-smooth runs. It’s a musical illustration of the song’s conflict: intense strain, a brief moment of ease and exhilaration, followed by more strain; a never-ending loop of questioning, but knowing exactly how the power dynamic in a relationship is going to play out. On “Falling Back,” Anthony wants you to dance through the sweat and tears.
