The melodic “Know You” is a gorgeous showing from San Francisco-based singer/songwriter and producer Alex Togashii. The track relays the feelings inspired “by the beginning of a new connection, thinking of the end before it truly even gets started,” per the artist.
Twangy guitars and laid-back vocals excel into an ascending chorus, savoring a fleeting yet beautiful moment of connecting — even as a departure seems imminent. “How can I lose what I never had?” the vocals lament during a spacious lead-in to the “I could hold you forever,” sentiments. The longing is palpable, stirring amidst a dreamy array of guitars and thumping bass, building into an irresistibly hooky chorus.
