SINGLE REVIEW: Nothing Like Robots - Booty Calls
Nothing Like Robots take the classic power ballad formula and twist it into something bold, evocative, and effortlessly fluid with ‘Booty Calls’. At its heart, this is a track that wears its emotions openly, driven by passionate vocals that smoulder with sultry intensity. There’s an undeniable 80s undercurrent, blending alt-rock weight with pop accessibility in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh—imagine if *NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys took a detour into rock, layering in moody guitars and booming drums beneath their harmonies.
The production is rich and immersive, with dreamy synth layers floating above a deep, pulsing bassline. The track moves dynamically, with a creative use of autotune adding extra texture rather than overpowering the natural emotion in the vocals. It’s heavy yet dreamy, smouldering yet deeply honest, balancing weighty instrumentation with an effortless sense of movement.
‘Booty Calls’ is powerful in both its sound and sentiment—open, raw, and undeniably captivating. It proves that Nothing Like Robots know exactly how to craft a ballad that resonates beyond its genre influences, delivering something universally engaging while staying true to its alt-rock roots.
