New Jersey-based project Grapefruit Sound Lab meshes big, pulsing synths with ’80s-friendly guitar tones on catching new track “To Make You Mine.” Per the artist, the track is a song for “mourning life’s regrets and missed opportunities, for celebrating metamorphosis and rebirth, and for holding out hope for a brighter future,” — emphasized in the “before the sun goes down, before the break of dawn,” hook with the soulful vocal reflection from Amuka. The evolution throughout is enjoyable, growing from pulsing, house-friendly synths into a vocal section complemented by guitars. “To Make You Mine” shows savvy production and a strong melodic pull, elevated by both vocalists and stellar overall production.
