There’s something ’bout the way Michael Pinning knows exactly how much to give, and when to hold back. In his latest single, “S.B.T.W.,” the rising indie pop artist serves up a soulful, groove-laced love song that balances vulnerability and swagger with effortless charm.
Inspired by falling in love with his wife, the track captures that magnetic push-pull of nervous excitement and undeniable connection. Smooth grooves, a flirty rhythm, and minimal-yet-striking vocals create an intimate mood that doesn’t try too hard, and it doesn’t need to. Pinning lets the music do the talking, and it talks smoothly.
The funky guitar lick that plays in the background acts like a heartbeat, constant, teasing, seductive. Horns pop in to add extra heat, while the bridge turns up the tension with fierce guitar stabs that make you lean in, waiting to see if the beat will drop or the moment will melt.
“S.B.T.W.” is the sound of falling in love in slow motion, with rhythm, restraint, and style. Stream it now and let Michael Pinning’s signature blend of indie soul pull you all the way in.
