I heard this little gem on the radio and it impressed me beyond belief! The lyrics are nice... talking about loving being in the presence with a significant other, but what mostly surprised me was the music.
It starts off with a beautiful violin melody that transforms into a synth with the same melody. Then the song progresses into the chorus with an amazing piano accompaniment. In my own compositions I love combining a violin solo part with an accompanied piano part and this song accomplishes both in an awesome manner. If this is the direction that popular music is going in, I am totally okay with it. I just hope that others take note of the success of this song and take up this style of composition. I just can't stop dancing in my chair!
The Verve tried to do something like this with Bittersweet Symphony in 1997, but it repeated the melody into the ground and became grossly overwhelming. The melody was fine for a few bars, but to repeat itself for the entire song? Come on.
Clean Bandit got the recipe right.
