Yufu’s “Side Effects May Include” is a joyous celebration of everything irrational, unpredictable, and wonderfully strange about falling hopelessly in love. The song portrays romance as a potent medicine, and missed calls, spontaneous dancing, and erratic behavior are symptoms of an emotional condition that listeners will instantly recognize.
The track captures the spirit of a 1970s soul-club performance and draws on crossover soul, Northern soul, Afro-Cuban soul, and Latin soul influences. One of Yufu’s most lively, danceable productions mixes horns, strings, Hammond organ, Latin percussion, shuffle guitar, and dynamic drum breaks. The arrangement has richness and life, while still carrying unmistakable human warmth.
The track also serves as the closing chapter of Yufu’s debut album "Heal Me Good." “Side Effects May Include” serves as both a celebration and a conclusion, showing that although musical styles may evolve over the years, the emotions that drive great soul music are timeless.
