Rules - In Your Love

Another MrSuicideSheep pickup and Rules turns In Your Love into a warm, glowing little anthem. This one leans more uplifting than the usual Sheep melancholy, with a melody that plants itself in your head on the first listen and then refuses to leave for the rest of the day. There’s a real pop sensibility under the electronic production, the kind of hook that could cross over if the right person hears it at the right moment. The drop is bright without being obnoxious, all shimmering synth stabs and a groove that wants you moving whether you planned to or not. I keep coming back to the vocal chop in the hook, which is one of those small production choices that makes a track feel finished instead of merely functional. It’s feel-good music that doesn’t feel cheap, which is a harder balance to strike than people give it credit for. Rules is a name I didn’t know this morning and now I’m digging through the back catalogue. That’s the whole point of a channel like Sheep, and it worked on me again.
