Saint Pepsi - Fiona Coyne





This is it. The sweetest song of the summer. Ladies and gents, stop your search here. Fiona Coyne, by the impeccable Ryan DeRobertis (Saint Pepsi) has made one of the cutest and heartaching songs I've heard in a while. The up-close, garage-band feel to the vocal sound as well as the innocent, whimsical simplicity to the lyrics are breathtaking off the bat. Saint Pepsi has grown an incredible amount over the last year or so, and his style has really aged and matured so much since then. I feel like what I love about this song as a whole is that it takes the often unprofessional, experimental style of vaporwave, and even some of french house and nu disco, and polishes it to a more mainline vibe. Instrumentally, it also reminds me somewhat of the feel of an Earth, Wind and Fire hit, which is a huge plus. When that chorus hits, I can't but help seeing myself in the middle of a glittering disco dance floor, alone, looking across the room wistfully. Then out of nowhere: she walks in. The lights dim, but the colors get stronger. The room hits slow motion, and our eyes meet: dumbstruck me and the one I know I'll love forever. She catches my stricken gaze and holds it, then smiles. This song is fantastic. I just can't stop loving it. This song melts my heart, and it makes me feel like somewhere out there, my emerald-eyed girl is waiting for me. And darling, I'll love you 'til the record stops.
Enjoy!
