“Always On My Mind” is a fluidly melodic track from Jason Malan, an artist from the Netherlands. Beginnings led by a pulsing rhythm section, stirring vocals, and key-laden overlaps build to a satisfying chorus around 01:22. Malan repeats “you’re always on my mind,” with suave gratification as synths escalate with vigor, followed by trickling guitars. The artist describes this splendid track as “about a post break-up phase where my mind was still in denial, hopeful, obsessive, repetitive and nostalgic… anything but facing the reality of the situation.” Effectively capturing yearning emotions alongside a strongly building mode of production, “Always On My Mind” is a success from Malan.
“Composing and producing this song ended up being very therapeutic and was a great help in accepting the situation I was in at the time,” Malan continues. “As well as being a good bonding experience with the vocalist whom is a good friend at the moment but at the time of production still quite a fresh classmate in my studies sound engineering and music production!”
