Genre-bending supergroup Triple One return with their second new single of the year, ‘COME OVER’, co-written with Matt Mason of DMAs, and announce their biggest tour to date, including their first foray into regional Australia.
While Triple One have earned notoriety for their slapstick humour and boorish punchlines, ‘COME OVER’ sees them delve into the introspective artistry that has evolved triumphantly since their first single. The song combines Triple One’s raw storytelling with more abstract references, describing “a situation where you’re stuck in a loop of bad habits in a relationship, and not really being aware of that until it’s too late. Ultimately, you have to know when to move on; but we often choose what we want, rather than what’s actually good for us.” What results is an intimate listen that highlights the group’s intensely relatable songwriting, reaching a die-hard fanbase that stretches across Australia and well into pockets of Europe.
Sonically, ‘COME OVER’ is a tender statement that still captivates listeners with grandiose flair. Having shared a studio next door to longtime friend Matt Mason of DMAs, he offers the gleaming, nostalgic guitar riffs that open ‘COME OVER’, building gradually into one of Lil Dijon’s most anthemic, stadium-sized hooks: “I wish I knew your hands like I knew I used to/Between my fingers, run through your hair/And it’s the same mistakes we making in motion/Pretend you know this, I can’t pretend.”
Producer Billy Gunns continues to effortlessly fuse the hip-hop and alternative worlds that Triple One have long dominated, placing Mason’s riffs alongside trap-flavoured 808s and furious drums that foreshadow the song’s most momentous drops. Rappers Marty Bugatti and Obi Ill Terrors trade poignant verses describing their own fleeting joys and inner turmoil, giving ‘COME OVER’ a distinctly greyscale finish.
