“Ice Cream” is a standout track from Danish/Turkish artist BÜNNI, the project of Bünyamin Eroglu, who crafts music that feels at once playful and deeply emotive. Here, shimmering soundscapes and twangy guitars accompany lyrics that liken fleeting dreams to “ice cream in the sun,” while layered vocals and buoyant synth pulses build into an irresistibly enveloping chorus.
“Ice Cream” unfolds with a magnetic charm. Shimmering textures traverse into a debonair vocal feeling and twangy guitar tones, letting out: “Dreams, they slip away / Like ice cream in the sun.” Playful synth pulses arrive during the enveloping hook — “I was just as lost as you” — as various vocal layers coalesce serenely, into a hooky “yeah, yeah” punctuation. Ensuing “I’d love to love you” lyricism continues a sense of yearning and contemplation, asking “why you so mean to me now?” as the central hook re-emerges. The track highlights BÜNNI’s knack for balancing atmosphere with immediacy.
