Fast Cars And Jetsetters


Vero “Waves of Love”

“Waves of Love” reminds me a lot of late ’80s/very early ’90s pop rock aesthetics – think the Divinyls, or Roxette, or Alannah Myles – but with a deliberately retro drum machine beat and the wry playfulness of Elastica. All of that is a great recipe for a song, but the real draw here is the craft more than the particulars of the execution. The melody is terrific and the vocal nails a sultriness that doesn’t tip over into camp, and the arrangement has that sprezzatura thing of being very tidy and well put together while retaining a deliberate casual, quasi-tossed off feel.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
