Love Actually - Key of Evergreen (Retro Pop) There’s a real meld of two different nostalgias working in Love Actually. Key of Evergreen’s new track starts off giving straight 80s with those analog synths creating a bubble gum pop-esque soundscape, but as soon as the guitars start we start to feel the punk-pop influence. There’s a Jesse’s Girl vibe to this, both the sound and the subject matter, as the vocalist pines for someone else’s girl. But there’s almost a 90s alternative/punk vibe in the vocals that makes us think of Weezer or even Greenday. It’s a head bopper for sure, and very sing-along-able. Put this one on your commute playlist, we think this goes well in the car.
Best Lyric: “And I know that I missed the boat, no surprises see yourself on the shore. Wave goodbye, what are good friends for.“
