Pipin – Maybe It’s Me
Pipin, pronounced as ‘pip-in’, is a project from Australian singer-songwriter Rebecca Hoole. Making dreamy, electronic pop, she established herself as one-to-watch in Brisbane’s music scene with shows supporting the likes of Ball Park Music, and playing multiple festival gigs.
Her new single Maybe It’s Me is a captivating piece of music. Simple-sounding at first listen, but more ingenious underneath the surface. Every single element has been carefully considered by Pipin and her producer, guitarist and real-life partner, Hugh Middleton. Just listen to the rhythmic bed, which features lots of different percussive sounds like claps and clicks, for instance. Towards the end, it builds up with extra vocal harmonies and percussion noises. Making a complex song sound simple asks for real craftsmanship!
Maybe It’s Me isn’t only a joy sonically, but visually as well. The accompanying video, partly inspired by the clip for Kate Bush’s Babooshka, really fits the tune.
