“Probably Me” is another delightful single from Luke Sweeney, who has caught our ears in the past with standout tracks like “Indian Radio Values” and 2022’s gorgeous album Rishi. The San Francisco-based artist captivated with a strong emotional core on those releases, capturing a sense of mourning and loss within acknowledgements of being part of a greater cosmic connection.
“Probably Me” presents a more playful enamoring, described by Sweeney as “an invitation to shake off the cobwebs of self-contradiction in a distinctly human dance of exaltation – reminding us what a funny, beautiful thing it is to be human; to be ourselves.” The “it was probably me,” vocal punctuations celebrates one’s own actions and the power of choice, from mundane everyday tasks like coffee or tea to more contemplative pursuits. Resonating psych-friendly guitars shine across the mid-point, traversing into a final “who’s been…” series of amiable questioning. “Probably Me” is a melodic winner from Luke Sweeney.
