The first track from solo artist Wa’el, “I Love You Why Would I Ever Leave? (Oh Right, and I’m Pretty High)” shows a serene form of pop with soaring tendencies. A heavenly synth pad and guitar twangs assemble an engaging sound over calming vocals, setting an engaging mood to start. The percussive pulsing and additional guitar just past two-minute mark adds nicely to the song’s depth and structure. A soaring vocal emergence about a minute thereafter leads to a breezy, melodic delight. This track definitely consumes with its hypnotic, dreamy pop tendencies.
