74
Description
Short and hopefully sweet?
It's all in 7/4 but there are some tricky things going on with the subdivison and kinda polyrhythmic stuff.
For the most part it's grouped as 3+4 except in the B section where it changes a bit and is meant to contrast/break away from the established groove.
*Updated with come clarification on the "kinda polyrhytmic stuff":
The piano is in a steady 7/4 (4+3) and is going through the whole piece, with the exception of the B-section.
The high-hat starts off in sextuplets and then goes over to quintuplets.
The kick and snare is playing as it's in 4/4´. Here in 7/4 it clashes a bit with the pianos 4+3 but over a whole bar it evens out.

Definitely a jam! Lots of vibe and character, and it rolls like a breeze. I like the clear riff and plucky synth on top.
I love that a lot of people picked 7/8 - it is hard to get it just right. I think your division worked very well as the 7/8 felt decently natural. I gotta admit that I got lost a bit at 0:56 - although this part, which you call "kinda polyrhythmic", surprisingly does not sound too bad. I feel that, although there is not much variation on the theme, you do incorporate it quite nicely, so well done :D
I really liked the chords used at some parts in the song they were really good. I'm not sure what it is called but the loud warbly piano thing that I believe is the melody felt off at parts. Like it was a half beat too late to come in. It made some sections feel strange.
also idk if it was just for me but the song would like lag out every now and then but I didn't hold that against the song I think it was probably just my computer.
