And yeah, it's a glittery, 8-minute "single" lit by a disco ball rather than blacklights, with no lead guitars and no indication that the new record is even done. Nothing just happens on the first single from Tame Impala's upcoming third LP, and not coincidentally, the title's implications are that Parker's very much aware of the stakes here-when he actually sings "let it happen," it could either be read as a reaction to taking flight or plunging to his death. The song finishes with a smooth fade out.Thanks but no thanks. The vocals join in again, but this time they sound computerized. The timbre of these doesn’t match the clear quality of the other sounds, but it adds a bit of edge to the song. The pitch of the entire song begins fluctuating. The pitch of these strings are at a lower octave than the rest of instruments played before. While it’s skipping, orchestral strings are introduced. The song begins skipping over one part repeatedly. During this time the rhythm isn’t consistent. Two minutes and 30 seconds in, there’s a 3 minute instrumental breakdown. “Let it Happen” manages to equally balance the vocals and the instruments.
Immediately after, the melody is added again, but this time without the vocals. At one point, the main melody of the song is taken out and all you can hear is the percussion faintly playing underneath the vocals. This song’s dynamic is comparable to a roller coaster the way the instruments fade out to highlight the singer then fade back in. The singer sings in a high pitched voice that’s at a slightly slower pace than the rest of the song. A few seconds after the instruments play the singing begins. The upbeat tempo is instantly established. The intro fades with a keyboard, bass, and drums. This psychedelic song is filled with a wide range of changing sounds. “Let it Happen” is the first song on the album Currents by Tame Impala.
