Jamie Woon - Night Air
3-5 StarsSo hauntingly catchy that there should be no shame in liking a song that drips with saccharine.
If you happen to fall in with the indie music snob club, then ‘Night Air’ is likely one of those songs you’ll be able to tick off as a guilty pleasure. Sure, the breathy intro may be a little sappy, but really, after repeated listens, Jamie Woon’s latest single is so hauntingly catchy that there should be no shame in liking a song that so drips with saccharine.
As such, the sugar-coated track shows Woon donning emotions on his sleeve, from seductive, whispered trembles to a soaring chorus that matches the subtle r’n’b beats. All this opens the colorful possibilities of what a night can bring, and the humdrum realities of any given day.
Woon clearly favors a moonlit night, and the urgency for which he pines for it make this track accessible to just about everyone: nocturnal, diurnal, music snob or maybe even a big snob in general.
