The track “Strictly Business” by Block Channel reflects years of silent observation distilled into music. The track showcases a one-man band creator who utilizes an acoustic guitar, synth, drum machine, microphone and iPad to deliver an unfiltered musical experience. The song functions as a warning beyond just its melody. The song lyrics confront the harsh truths that occur in all types of partnerships—romantic or friendly and business-related—where trust and goodwill deteriorate whenever financial matters become involved. An electronic beat sets the tone of this song which delivers meaningful concepts through a smooth and catchy format that listeners will love. The song’s hook remains memorable while the beat continues to move you and the track prompts reflection even after it concludes.

The track incorporates musical elements from Gary Numan, The Art of Noise, and Massive Attack but remains an independent creation. Instead, it builds something personal and raw. Melodic synth lines float above precise drum patterns as mid-tones and basslines maintain the track’s foundation. The artist creates layered sounds that exhibit both polished quality and human touches despite lacking formal training. What makes “Strictly Business” even more compelling is its backstory as the track “Strictly Business” was created by someone ending a long business life inside a spare room and it expresses what professional life never permitted.
What stands out is the honesty. This isn’t just music—it’s an outlet. Through music, the artist shares everything from financial worries to personal doubts while prompting listeners to seek deeper meaning in the beat. Discovering Block Channel through “Strictly Business” should motivate you to delve into their other work. Listeners who connect with the music or message of the Block Channel or those curious about the artist’s identity will discover something compelling to engage with.
