Mercy - Segana (Pop) Segana is back on the blog with another 80s-inspired jam, “Mercy.” Unlike “Fever Dreams”, which we reviewed back in March, “Mercy” abandons the “Thriller” subject matter and gives us a retro pop banger the likes of “Footloose” and “Time Warp.” With the splashy keys and tight percussion you’d expect from a throwback inspired cut like this, we’ve got a chorus based on a classic call and response that will surely make this one a crowd pleaser in concert. But more than the production, the track resurrects that peppy, positive vibe exuberance that seems to have given way to the more modern broody, heartache laden, melancholy of today’s pop music. All in all, “Mercy” is a straight up retro party jam that could get every friend and family member up on the dance floor.
Best Lyric: “I can see you through the lines on the wall. You got me countin all my knives just to feel it some more.”
