Vittorio and The Bridges seem to be quite proud of their violins and zazazazas on ‘Adderall’, their latest single, and to be honest I’d be just as proud if I were one of them.. the zazazazas in particular are quite powerful.
Vittorio and The Bridges are like Viagra Boys with sensible pants. A 4-piece alternative pop and rock outfit hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Vittorio and The Bridges wave their Mediterranean roots proudly in their music, as showcased here in their latest release ‘Adderall’. A song about the ongoing crisis of amohetamine-based drugs like Adderall and its spread among young people, specifically in colleges, the outfit are addressing this dire issue with an open face, humor, and weighted lightheartedness. A quirky and endearing approach that is a welcome departure from the expected melancholy and virtue-signaling.
Musically, the song is based on zazazazas.
No but seriously. Vittorio and The Bridges are employing a stellar vocal layer of stuttering and rhythmic, single syllable zazaza sound as a replacement of sorts to perhaps a staccato violin line, leaving the actual violin to wail freely elsewhere. The song’s addictive energy is derived from a delightfully peppy groovy and an engaging set of melodies that go alongside the song’s well-thought-out lyrics. The roomy production gives the song a rather charming lo-fi vibe that makes the fun offering ever easier to fall in love with.
A quirky and quite memorable little cut by Vittorio and The Bridges, ‘Adderall’ is a valuable lesson in how to approach serious topics with an approach that does not inspire self-loathing in listeners. Instead, ‘Adderall’ inspires listeners to dance.
