tsubi club is back for the first time in more than two years and not only is he not dipping his toes in, he’s come in first headfirst. His new single, “Laced Up,” is a high-voltage cascade of sound, feeling, and self-discovery, evidence that time away has only clarified his artistic vision.
Beginning with a clever callback to his breakout debut, “Burbank House,” Tsubi Club makes sure his stamp on the scene is not long forgotten. He interpolates a striking sample of Oso Oso’s “This Must Be My Exit” to set the stage for a track that is at once nostalgic and fresh. “Running on a feeling, thought I knew I forgot it,” he sings against a neon-lit hyper-pop backdrop with a raw energy that blooms and breaks. Each lyric drips with self-reflection, encapsulating the tension between who he was and who he’s become.
The production? It’s a sonic adrenaline shot. A hyper-charged cocktail of crackling beats, stacked vocals, and divine textures launches “laced up” into the outer reaches and ensures that Tsubi Club’s return is nothing short of triumphant.
