Cub Sport rewind with “Replay”
Pop
We do love some Cub Sport here at talkaboutpopmusic.com! So we were thrilled when we heard their new single, “Replay”, which is out now. The track follows on from the utterly brilliant “Always Got The Love“.
“Replay” should in fact be subtitled Brisbane to Ibiza. A propulsive house track that ripples with waves of sinewy sub-bass, it transmutes the band’s trademark warmth and empathy into a piece of glassy, gorgeous dance music.
In recent years, the Australian group have made songs you can really dance to, but they’ve never produced anything quite like “Replay”, a song whose embodied throb and Balearic sparkle arrives in search of the largest, loudest speakers it can find.
Recorded in Melbourne with Styalz Fuego (Troye Sivan, Tate McRae, Khalid) and Natalie Dunn (Charli XCX, Blackpink) “Replay” captures an interplay between human and heavenly that’s typified by artists like Robyn, Ariana Grande and, of course, Cub Sport patron saint Cher. Tim Nelson’s gossamer falsetto has never sounded so at home as it does above the track’s elemental rumble.
The new release comes with a music video, self-directed and edited by Tim. Aptly described as a queer reimagining of ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’, the visual explores themes of yearning and connection as Nelson attempts to break free from a loop of scattered memories.
