NYC-based singer/songwriter dearest delivers a spirited pop emotion on new single “Never Knew Me,” traversing seamlessly from mellow guitar jangling to an enthused central hook with self-confident vigor.
“You were just as blind as me,” alluring vocals let out, observing a relationship gone past as the “you never knew me at all,” chorus hits — inducing replays with its bright vocal layers, sturdy acoustic undercurrent, and all-out melodic contagiousness. Contemplative piano adorn an introspective vocal push thereafter, then driving into a satiating conclusion on this earworm of a track from dearest, which represents the alias of songwriter and producer Emma Rose Botti.
