Den Dala’s new single “Carefree” is a real feel good groover song. It takes you to a place where you always have your sharpest glasses on and every movement is in unison with the beat. How could it be else, Carefree has everything a positive mind needs: a simple and catchy bassline, followed by melodic guitars, and topped off with a stunning synthesizer solo. Playing Ping Pong, jamming, drinking, and letting your soul dangle is what inspired Den Dala to write this song. It developed in a time when there wasn’t much more to do anyways. This feeling of lightness and not caring too much about things is the essence of this mellow instrumental track.
