Los Angeles-based artist Chris Jobe impresses with a contagious pop sound throughout “Nostalgia.” Suave vocals show a yearning for nostalgia and running away “with you,” alongside peppy guitars and a playful rhythmic pulsing. A scaled-back bridge, initially guided by just guitars and vocals, is gradually bolstered by a catchy bass line into the hooky “I made a mistake,” line. The “I would run away,” refrain also plays infectiously throughout. “Nostalgia” is shining indication of Jobe’s smart pop songwriting and polished production.
