Mellow twinkling and contemplative vocals ascend into an infectious electro-pop spell on “Wings,” the latest single from London-based artist Joshua Woo. “And I know it’s so hard, just to be,” the vocals let out in the chorus, alongside radiant synth pads and a driving electro buzzing. A gorgeous sophisti-pop embrace stirs while approaching the three-minute turn, with washes of synths and yearning vocals enamoring with a more subdued quality. “Wings” is abundant in striking production and melodic candy, from the quaint beginnings to the buzzing electro-pop theatrics throughout the second half.
Woo’s momentum continues to rise, following an abundance of quality singles in previous years — including “Sunflower Seeds” and “Someone’s Star.” “Wings” is another surefire highlight, impressing especially in its escalating structural qualities — shifting seamlessly from a minor key to a major key by the track’s conclusion, representing “a new found hope,” per Woo.
