A recent track from Amateur Painter, “Love Letter to My Phone” balances moody production with a hooky melodic pull. The Canadian producer, singer, and songwriter impresses throughout. Rising vocals accompany murky bass gyrations as a prancing synth-laden arpeggio lingers in the background. The central hook — “but you always come through, when I need you to,” — shows expressive vocal range, heightening pitch and emotion amidst the lyrical refrain. A more emphasized backing arpeggio converges beautifully with the invigorated vocal. “Love Letter to My Phone” showcases a uniquely effective sound while remaining true to its hook-minded heart.
