Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Kean Lane unveils a dreamy immersion throughout “did i tell you,” melding electronic and pop elements with a sense of smitten appeal. A repeating “in love,” vocal refrain and “I love you,” whispered touch enthrall amidst lush synth adornments and steady percussive elements. “Did I tell you, I love her?” the adoring lyrics emit, capturing the feelings of falling in love via the starry-eyed synth/guitar interplay and lyrical sincerity.
Lane’s songwriting tends to hone in on “life’s big moments,” — and “did i tell you” is enjoyably representative of falling head over heels. Lane cites The Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever” as an inspiration for the track’s dreamy tone, while the synth-heavy production takes influence from Artemas’ “i like the way you kiss me.” A lushly absorbing production takes hold, and an eventual speeding-up of those vocals captivate, in both their production and thematic representation — embodying “the quick passage of time.” “did i tell you” is a stellar output from Kean Lane.
