Wotts Takes a Nostalgic Leap with “Be Kind,” a Bridge into Indie Pop Future

In the ever-evolving landscape of indie pop, Canadian duo Wotts is back with a bang and emerges as a captivating musical force to be reckoned with. Their latest offering, “Be Kind,” is a testament to their musical prowess, blending influences from the 90s with a contemporary twist that creates a unique and nostalgic auditory journey, leaving a lasting impression. They have gained recognition by performing at RBC Bluesfest, Canadian Music Week, and Junofest. Their latest single, “Be Kind,” is a beautiful addition to their collection of songs.

Wotts, hailing from Ottawa, Canada, is no stranger to experimentation, and “Be kind” is a testament to their willingness to push boundaries. After the well-received EP “Garden,” the duo decided to revisit their roots, embracing the sounds of the 90s. The result is a track that expertly fuses modern rock elements and retro influences, marking a departure from their signature 80s-inspired sound. This band, consisting of the talented vocalist, multi-instrumentalist Jayem, and the versatile bassist/guitarist Ricky 100, has taken a bold step into the world of the 90s and steadily made waves in the indie music scene.

Jayem’s hauntingly emotive lines, such as “Goodbye! So long, am yours, can’t think of nothing” and “Hope you got somebody to love, doesn’t matter that you really matter now or before,” evoke a sense of longing and introspection. These words paint a picture of parting ways with a touch of melancholic nostalgia, echoing the sentiment of the 90s.
