Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Dylan Cox exudes heartfelt introspection within a warming folk-rock arsenal on new single “Surprise.” Cox describes the memorable love song as “about the incredulous miracle of falling in and finding love, the surprise and serendipity of it.” Crafted with noted drummer Abe Rounds, “Surprise” builds enjoyably from quainter verses into the “can’t believe love exists,” realization — preceded by a contagious “surprise, surprise,” anticipation. “Surprise” is a melodic, affecting winner from Dylan Cox, beautifully conveying the marvel of falling in love.
