Golden – Huntr/xScore: 7.4Huntr/x’s Golden arrives like a motivational poster you’d find hanging in a gym bathroom, but set to a synth line that sounds vaguely like it was borrowed from a video game character’s redemption arc. It’s a song that insists on optimism with the ferocity of a Labrador that’s just discovered a tennis ball.Musically, Golden shuffles between indie-pop earnestness and Spotify algorithm-friendly polish. There’s enough reverb to make you think the band recorded it inside an abandoned cathedral, and a beat that wouldn’t feel out of place on a Peloton playlist called “Empowerment Vibes Vol. 3.” The lyrics are all about light, resilience, and that vague sense of self-actualisation you get after buying overpriced crystals from a weekend market.Where the track succeeds is in its sheer audacity to believe in something. Huntr/x doesn’t just tell you life can be Golden; they practically kick down your door and hand you a scented candle to prove it. It’s aspirational music, but aspirational in the way a suburban vision board is: sincere, slightly chaotic, and maybe exactly what you need at 2 a.m.Best moment: when the chorus drops and you briefly believe you might, in fact, be the main character. Worst moment: the realisation that you’re listening to earbuds you bought off Wish.Final verdict: not quite solid gold, but definitely gold-plated — shiny enough to keep you dancing until you start questioning your life choices.Think you know music?Every Friday, Tower Of Music puts your music knowledge to the test.Guess the artists.
