a thread for the bassline on Alewya's "Selah" (2026)

whoa

Cool song, but I'm not sure I heard much of a bassline so much as the sort of murky pulse I recognize from, like, Wolfgang Voigt. Maybe I'd hear it better on headphones?

I probably should have said "bass sound" rather than bassline, but what I find so pleasurable about it is that it is a warm & humid mass of air bass sound like Voigt but also melodic (not complicatedly to be sure). Headphones recommended though yeah

also the way it serves as the bedrock for all that lively percussion
