For those of you who were alive in the eighties, this song is a time capsule. I’m not kidding. When I close my eyes and listen to it, it feels like I am back at my parent’s house, sipping a can of Pepsi Free, listening to the radio. It’s quite remarkable. All the trademarks of the aforementioned era are here: the synth bass, keyboards, electronic drums and the 80s guitar riffs … it sounds very authentic.
But the fresh Lynney Williamson single is more than just authentic-sounding retro music. It is a fantastic composition that grooves and moves. Laced with brilliant synth work and tasteful guitars, it’s a formidable production that blends the signature sound of the eighties with modern synth pop. Lynney herself is in great voice … she’s a terrific singer with exactly the right nuances for this kind of music. What can I say? Everything here works.
“I See You” will no doubt find its way to a plethora of playlists and rightly so as it a very strong number. Enjoy.
