Superbly catchy and chilled-out, “Second Date” is a new track from Oklahoma City-based artist Josh Fudge. Thematically capturing a yearning for a relationship’s brighter days (or a new one capable of such), “Second Date” rides on forlorn yet melodic synths from the get-go. The artist’s soulful, charismatic vocal presence is initially accompanied by mellow keys, joined by strutting synths after the “hey, wait a minute,” bridge. The verses captivate, culminating in a chorus that proves infectious with the vocal tone switch-up and synth-based reprisal. “Second Date” is a smooth-as-butter, replay-inducing gem from the impressive 18-year-old instrumentalist and songwriter.
