Carmie returns with a warm single that really serves as a defining moment for the artist as she delves into her personality, which is not a new aspect for her, but this time she gets deep into the story of having heavy-handed feelings for someone who, although they may feel the same, isn't feeling it at the exact same pace.
While she's planning out the names of their future children and where they might get a house, the other is still taken aback by the fact that there's someone out there for them, and they might have just found that person.
Both parties are in it; they are more than infatuated, and I love how Carmie is able to depict those kinds of feelings in such a descriptive manner.
It's very light-hearted, which is something that comes across in a beautifully woven contemporary pop soundscape, and it works perfectly with the lyrics because again, none of it is all too serious, but rather something that feels somewhat carefree. After all, even if both people are not exactly on the same page in terms of planning out their future together, they both know they have something great right now.
Carmie has such a great way of articulating lyrics so that she can tell a story, and you can connect with it. She uses amazing words to describe the emotions being felt, and it has this sort of youthful feel to it.
It's a song that feels like it's about the excitement of love. You're in this amazing honeymoon phase, and everything just feels right, so you're excited, you're enticed, and you are really joyful about the fact that you found someone that you feel like is the right person.
The song goes on about how she knows the other person may not be on the same exact page at the moment, but she's not afraid to tell them how she feels. She's letting it all out; no walls built around it, and it's kind of freeing.
I feel like this is connective because a lot of us have been there. We've been in that situation where we're so excited about the love and the person that we've found that we want to dive headfirst into everything and give it a speed run while we're at it.
That's all part of the magic, in a sense.
I dig how unafraid she comes across.
The song is called "First Flight To France", and it definitely has a brilliant pop coating that feels very current, but also that sort of mellow, more contemporary backbone that gives it a little bit of a filmic essence, and the energy of it is really where it's balanced.
There are layers of guitars that bring a bit of lusciousness to the song; it all feels bigger and bigger as it plays on, but none of it's over the top. Instead, everything is dynamically in its place.
This is part of why it works so well. The excitement of the situation is through the roof, yet the song and performance of it all have this sort of mellow, breezy feel.
The production on this track is really well done; everything feels crisp and clean, and even though it does have that smooth overtone, it's very vibrant in its performance.
Carmie lays out addictive melodies, even in the verses and the whole song has this outstanding flow to it that just works.
Part of the way this artist knows how to build a song is all in the vocals. As the song unfolds, it focuses more on a single vocal track that gives you the hooks, the melodies, and the story. As the song plays on more and more and you get deeper into it, the excitement level sort of rises because those vocals become double-tracked, harmonies start rolling in, and before you know it, there are more than a few vocal tracks that are layered in there, and it gives the song a unique thickness that still feels polished, but more full-bodied than how it started.
This just showcases someone who knows exactly how to build a song without pushing anything.
She's got that fun sort of vibe in the performance, and her tone is just naturally giving you this warmth that wraps its arms around you.
There's something incredibly inviting about this track, and I suggest you check it out as soon as you can, because it does sound like the kind of song that a lot of people will relate to.
Once more, that cinematic feel comes from the sort of pristine and bright pop production, along with the emotional lyrics and inviting sense that it all gives.
This single is a perfect example of how Carmie can be just the right amount of vulnerable while still keeping things fun.
So, definitely check this out as soon as you can, and if you haven't already, I would highly suggest checking out her other recent releases like "Safe Space", so you can get even more of a feel for her honesty and portrayal of character in her music.
Dig into this now and remember where you heard it first.
