A luscious, groovy synth-pop effort, ‘When I Was With You’ is incredibly fascinating. Built over massive synthesizers and modulated sound design, the record is rather minimal in its arrangement, making use of a few elements very well placed. From the steady, modern beat to the many nuanced textures hovering in and out of the track, ‘When I Was With You’ pleasantly impressed us, managing to sound extremely modern and vintage at the same time.
The latest single by Los Angeles-based talent Zach Bailey, ‘When I Was With You’ flourishes also in its lyrical aspect. Written from an honest and authentic personal perspective, the song encapsulates all the introspection endured by Bailey, about a recent break-up that put him to the test. The outcome is a positive one, with the young creative celebrating self-growth and a wiser self.
As Zach explains: “I wrote the song the week after my last relationship ended. Although it was for the best, I wanted to express all the ways through this relationship I became a better person.” Leveraging his imaginative creativity, Bailey crafts a fantastic record, a catchy and relatable gem that we are confident will connect with a wide audience.
