Everything Has Now Changed

Jonathan Bree feat. Clara Viñals “Say You Love Me Too”

Everything in “Say You Love Me Too” moves around a slinky, vaguely sinister bass line that loops through every moment of the song aside from the bridge. The drums, vocals, and keyboard parts respond to the bass melody – the singers convey low-key romantic obsession, the percussion emphasize the lascivious sexuality of the groove, the piano notes and organ drone suggest both a yearning and a void. In some ways, this is like Peter, Björn, and John’s “Young Folks” turned inside out, with much of the same aesthetic choices, but with that song’s sweetness and forward momentum flipped into sexual frustration and pacing in circles.
