Alan Dreezer - 99 Percent

99 Percent - Alan Dreezer (Pop) The early-90s are calling with Alan Dreezer’s 99 Percent, ready for all your retro-tinged playlists. The song is bookended by a phone call/voicemail scene, starting with an apology from a former lover and ending with a full inbox, which gives a great structure and completion of storytelling to the track. In the middle of this sandwich, Alan tells the listener that he’s over her, by just about 99%. That message is delivered with Alan’s silky baritone, carrying the song with little of today’s modern vocal tricks, only using the occasional background and layering to let the strength of his performance do all of the work. The song has great 90s crossover R&B vibe complete with a motown style chant and a funk guitar driving the song along. It’s a classic sounding song with great movement, one we know you’ll be singing along with.

Best Lyric: “I still taste your scent”
