The music for You’re All I Want was actually recorded back in the summer of 2017 on the Spanish island of Mallorca during the sessions for “Cry” but the track was only completed almost three years later after returning to LA when Greg Gonzalez (vocals and guitar) wrote the lyrics. Greg explained that “the lyrics ended up telling a story I saw as a fantasy or dream involving my girlfriend & I. Sort of reversing our roles & retelling the way we met, while imagining what a sweet future might look like together…”
You’re All I Want chronicles the passion of a new love. The track is the perfect follow up to the excellent “Cry”, but with a newfound vigor and intensity. Continuing to express love songs with an intensity and compassion unparalleled, You’re All I Want builds into a pleasant escape to wrap yourself in.
And with this release Gonzalez along with bandmates - Jacob Tomsky (drums) & Randy Miller (bass) have pulled off something stunning. You’d think a song about new love would be bright and upbeat, but this is brilliantly different. It tells of the passion of a new love, and is delivered in a wonderful slow, and sultry style, which matches Gonzales’ soft vocals so perfectly, creating a real sense of passion and sexual tension. Beautiful slow, echoing guitars dominate and carry the vocals perfectly, creating a wonderful dreamy atmosphere, like someone lost in the whirl of new romance.
Mesmerising…. Honestly you could put this on and feel the chills running through you as you leaf through a phone book !
With You’re All I Want, the US band are at their best, producing a wonderful swirling blend of soft keyboards/bass and sensual dreamy guitars, carrying Greg’s trademark soft voice as it oozes out of the speakers to your ears.
Delightful, emotive and intense in a subtle way. Wow just stunning, I loved this one and it’s deserving of a LiveWire Music score of 9.5
