“2 Is Company“ by Von LaRae

“2 Is Company” is a riveting track that blends genres like soul, pop, and afrobeat to create something fresh. Von LaRae, an innovative artist from Indianapolis, Indiana, showcases his clear artistic vision through the one of a kind sonic textures and cohesive sonic journey in this song. LaRae tells the story of a rebirth in this track, vulnerably looking at personal growth and intimacy as he steps into a more confident and authentic version of himself.

Tapping synth melodies and vocal ad libs open the song, with rhythmic breathing samples adding some catchy tension and a suggestive tone. The melodies throughout the track are free flowing and hypnotizing, with the grooving beat providing a steady backbone underneath the vocals. “2 Is Company” has the perfect ebb and flow of energy, with some sections being sparse and focused on the vocals, and others building up the instrumentation more and surrounding the listener. This rise and fall in the arrangement provides exciting anticipation and satisfying reward as those ear worm elements move across the song. 

Lyrics like “I just wanna come be your best thing” and “I wanna see your mind” show Von LaRae laying it all on the line for this person, forgoing hesitance and inauthenticity in the pursuit of what he wants. This song is an inspiring reminder to allow intimacy into your life while remaining your true self. It is easy to get lost in the many different problems, or people, in your life, but LaRae finds his center, and an immensely catchy groove, in “2 Is Company.”
