let gom-flo
It’s a song about unrequited love, but the melody isn’t heavy, so it feels clean and easy on the ears.
There are some rap-style parts that give it a nice groove, so it’s not too gloomy to listen to.
The arrangement is done like a DJ mix, so I’ve been listening to it as part of the Hip Hop genre.
