Peace of Mind - Chris Bloom (Pop). I mean, this is just Top 40 perfection. Chris Bloom’s shining tenor soars through the guitar driven Peace of Mind, accompanied by a lofi hiphop percussion production that marries so well with Chris’s crystal clear vocals. Soft and reedy, Chris bolsters an intimate vocal performance with lush background doubles and harmonies which really elevate this indie-pop track into something special. The melody is catchy, with the repeating descending chords creating quite an earworm, and the lyrics are both thoughtful and clever. There’s really not much more to say other than that Chris Bloom is a star in the making.
Best Lyric: “Even if I runaway, can never leave myself, yea. And I’m not going nowhere.”
