Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song "Bleach" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American hip hop boy band Brockhampton from their third studio album Saturation III (2017).
Composition and lyrics
"Bleach" has been described as an "abstract R&B power ballad with an aching, heartsick climax".[1] The production features a "woozy synth line" of G-funk-esque style, over which Matt Champion and Merlyn Wood perform their verses, before the beat switches to R&B style in the climax. The chorus is performed by Ryan Beatty.[2] The bridge of the song sees a palm muted guitar riff, over which Joba provides "silky" falsetto vocals.[3] The outro is performed by Bearface.[4]
Critical reception
The song was well-received by music critics. Trevor Smith of HotNewHipHop remarked it "showcases the strong R&B sensibilities of the group".[2] Veronica Irwin of The Quietus wrote "'Bleach' in particular, with it's fading, flattening instrumental is stunning, and Beaty's hook, despite all its vagueness about 'the feeling,' has a chest-driven delivery that's absolutely heart wrenching."[5] Marcus Blackwell of HipHopDX considered it one of the songs from Saturation III that "effectively highlight a recurring major strength for the collective: relatability."[6] HotNewHipHopШаблон:'s Patrick Lyons commented the closing minute of the song "feels effortless in contrast with about half of III that feels more calculated than anything from Brockhampton's past."[4] Clash's Will Rosebury cited it as among the tracks that "allow each member to express themselves more candidly, without verging on the over-sentimentality of tracks from the first two records."[7]
WatchMojo ranked "Bleach" as the band's fourth best song.[8] Live365 ranked it as their third best song.[9] Variety placed "Bleach" at number six on their list of Brockhampton's 15 best songs.[10]
