"Vibes" (Lyric Video) on YouTube |
"Vibes" is a song by New Zealand band Six60, released as the fifth single from their 2017 extended play Six60.
The members of Six60 described "Vibes" as a fun track for them to perform live with a "groovy beat".[1]
"Vibes" was one of six tracks released weekly in the build-up to their Six60 EP,[2] on 10 November 2017.[3] The band performed the song live at You Are Us/Aroha Nui, a 2019 charity concert held as a response to the Christchurch mosque shootings. The band were criticsed for performing the song due to its inclusion of references to firearms.[4]
The song was a commercial success, becoming the top performing song by a New Zealand act in the country in 2018.[5]
The New Zealand Herald praised the "simple and effortless[ness]" of the track, as well as the song's "finger-snapping R&B".[6] Katie Parker of Radio New Zealand praised the song's catchiness and beat, but criticised the song's title and the firearms metaphor in the lyrics.[7]
