A hooky synth-pop delight from Los Angeles-based artist dylanVO, “next time_” captures nocturnal drives in downtown Los Angeles in its lushly melodic production. Toronto-based singer/songwriter Melissa Lamm adds riveting vocals, spanning from the steady verses’ recollections to the pitch-altering cap-off to the central hook.
“Better off next time,” Lamm sings with glowing intrigue, complemented by pulsing percussion and radiant synths — the “floating on air,” lyrical remarks capturing the ethereal charm. Glistening synths during the “I’m better off,” bridge are especially magnetic, driving to a satiating finale on this fantastic replay-inducer from dylanVO and Melissa Lamm.
