Keeping the summer vibes alive is this brand new acoustic-led pop single from Logan Alexandra.
Featuring superb acoustic guitar work to kick things off, the song soon introduces a smooth and strong leading vocal, and multiple additional layers of organic rhythm and color to help really build something immersive and uplifting.
From a songwriting perspective, the track talks on moving forwards and away from toxic or difficult relationships. There could have been a melancholic angle to this story-line, but instead the tropical bounce and optimism of the soundscape helps create a genuine sense of self-empowerment and overcoming. While there are still some hints of bitterness lyrically, particularly towards the end, these are subtle and seem to be simply part of the fun of the song.
All in all, the title concept and hook prove impressively catchy, fresh enough to stand out, familiar enough to connect with a broader audience. Then we get the professionally shot and equally colorful, summertime-ready video to accompany things. Next Girl hits with impact as a contemporary pop offering with a natural, live-music backbone. Nicely done.
