Ambient music is typically defined by soothing, psychedelic beats that have the goal of relaxing the listener. In producer Kutiman's newest single "Sun Don't Shine", he urges the listener to sit with their feelings before moving on from them. Check it out on YouTube here:
When it comes to the production, a looped electronica beat with a smidge of hip-hop evokes a feeling of stagnancy. Supplementing the beat are a line of lyrics droning like a desolate chant: "Why, why the sun don't shine when I'm down."
At the same time, the song also urges the listener to move, to try and stop being stuck. The hip-hop portion of the song combines with a more frantic electronica beat to convey someone taking a more active role in their life despite their hopelessness.
