“Go On“ by Birkir Blær

“Go On” by Birkir Blær is an indie pop tune that builds your confidence and gets you on your feet. Blær is a multifaceted artist with an aptitude for blending genres, and his unique style merges R&B rhythms with catchy pop melodies and production. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, but originally from Akureyri, Iceland, Blær cements himself as an artist to watch with the infectious groove and uplifting narrative of “Go On.”

An immediately catchy humming hook opens the song, setting up the endless ear candy that is to follow. Deep, sliding bass and a fun drum rhythm build the backbone of the song as dancing melodies raise the energy. The rhythm shifts from free flowing to punchy, giving the track a dynamic edge as little moments of electric guitar pop in and out, tugging at your attention in a satisfying way. Horns join the arrangement later in the track, adding a triumphant vibe to the song. The bridge breaks down to a clapping rhythm and meandering vocal that makes it feel like you are in the room as Blær passionately sings.

Lyrics like “you say I’m just a dreamer, trying to pull me down to earth, no thanks” express the inspiring theme of the song. Blær doesn’t listen to people who try to make him insecure, instead choosing to believe in himself and go after what he wants. He sings with determination about how no one else can change who he is or what he wants- a great perspective we can all learn from.
