“Go Outside!” rides on a bouncy synth-pop charm, lyrically contrasted by a season-ending yearning. NYC-based artist eliza elliott incorporates backing acoustics and melodic vocals alongside the playful synth tones, escalating rhythmically during the “tell me what it’s like,” rise. The bridge around 01:45 — with the wordless vocal build-up to “are we still on a team?” — is another especially catching moment. A pop charmer with bittersweet lyrical longing that plays convincingly, “Go Outside!” is a stellar pop production from eliza elliott.
