All about the soul-baring act of opening your heart up at the risk of its breaking, Ball in the House’s ‘Take A Chance’ is the perfect blend of groove, feels, and mood.
The fact that Ball in the House is an a capella group is made evident from the very first second of the song. Typical to such a group, the song begins with layered harmonies in the background that ground the song. Bringing together elements from the world of soul, synth pop and R&B, the song creates a sound that will stand out as memorable and one that will not slip from your mind that easily. The vocals in the song absolutely make their presence felt, with all the skill that it uses in its performance.
A feel-good 90s vibe is what the song creates overall, as it wraps its emotions with a rhythm that will have you swaying and moving to its beats. The song uses minimal layers, and still manages to create a sound texture that feels rich and indulging, without feeling overwhelming. All the layers complement each other quite well and create a seamless sound. With all the personality it has, the song might make you think of the Jonas Brothers, The Backstreet Boys, among others. It can also be the perfect addition to the soundtrack of a rom-com without a doubt.
A perfect track to accompany you on those drives with your windows down, as the warm sun and wind tousle your hair, this song will no doubt have you coming back to it time and time again, to take in the musical brilliance that it is and all the warmth it gives off.
