With great songwriting on display, “Wouldn’t Have Guessed It” is a bursting psych-friendly rocker from Fire In Her Eyes. The London-based all-girl trio show an evident ’60s and ’70s psych rock and pop infatuation, with a modern re-imagining emphasizing creatively evolving song structures, as is the case here throughout the track’s nearly five minutes. The chorus enchants, with a string-laden effervescence accompanying a striking vocal lead, letting out a title-referencing refrain that soars. A suave guitar solo converges with hooky vocals around 04:25, reminding fondly of the act Tennis. “Wouldn’t Have Guessed It” is a fully satiating gem from Fire In Her Eyes, touting captivating vocal harmonies and memorable hooks.
