Touting a grooving bass line and infectious pop allure, “Be Honest” is a well-produced and catchy track from Gold Coast-based producer Dylan Lindquist, the artist behind the Soft Nylon project. He describes “Be Honest” – which features the confidently melodic vocals of Luke Howell – as “similar in vibe to a RUFUS track meeting the arrangement of Tame Impala.” Certainly, the bass line echoes that of the Aussie psych-rockers, while the sweltering and smooth vocals provide the ideal accompaniment to infectious pulsating synths with effervescent appeal. Production-wise, the track shines throughout, especially at the two-minute mark, when the galloping bass and bright synths combine – at 02:09 precisely – for a very memorable melodic moment. “Be Honest” is pop-driven ear candy.
