There is something immediately recognizable but newly magnetic about “Like”, the new track from ESSK and Friends. It’s a love song not for anyone in particular, but to life, a gentle, affectionate humor, and memories that cherish the miracle packed into each mundane moment.
“Like” envelops you in its soulful embrace, with soft vocals gliding over a mellow rhythm that sounds tailor-made for late dinners, golden-hour drives, or lazy Sundays with someone who truly understands you. ESSK and Friends work from a palette saturated with cultural color. They compare love and life’s pleasures to Jagger’s swagger and Tarantino’s flash, matching pop-culture poetry with real heart.
What makes “Like” so captivating isn’t just its clever lyrics, it’s the fact that this message comes from a genuine place. ESSK and Friends serve as a reminder that joy isn’t always found in grand gestures or exotic adventures. Within the clink of wine glasses across the table, perhaps, laughter echoing through the kitchen, or sometimes being seen and understood over whispers in a quiet room.
The song straddles the line between soulful suaveness and modern ease, refined yet not fussy, easily accessible without losing its substance. Each verse is like a photograph, and each chorus is a celebration of the beauty within the mundane.
