CHUFI’s vocals are presented with an intimacy that we didn’t have from the first release, which is something that works really sensually with the minor-centred melodies. There is a lot of playfulness with the effects in ‘Mental’, the swelling reverbs and dramatic pans accentuate the song’s message of confusion and self-doubt. The Sydney based artist was inspired by 90’s trip-hop for the release and development of ‘Mental’, the unpredictable melodies and backing vocals feeling especially reminiscent of the style.
