“Blend” is a sensational pop song with a radio-ready sound that will have you putting the song on repeat after your first listen. Sleek, lo-fi inspired production opens the track with layers of padded synths backed by hi-hats and snare with an ambiance of tape hiss and crackle adding depth and color to the track. A juicy guitar solo adds flavor to the track's interlude. 'LTTLE KNGs modern sound has universal appeal a smooth chill-pop sound and an addictive groove.
After a brief moment, the drums lead a pick-up into the first verse with the addition of kick drum adding a beating pulse to the heart of the track. LTTLE KNG then graces the track with his vocals that have a rich timbre yet are light and airy as he smoothly serenades listeners throughout the song.
“Blend” is all about reflecting on yourself and making a connection with someone else. In the verses, LTTLE KNG contemplates his past mistakes, choices, and relationships and ties together these messages in the chorus an unforgettable chorus singing,
“Every word we’ve spoken, / Fixing what is broken / Still don’t know but hoping / We always blend when we’re better.”
