Evanstar greet us with an electronic heartbeat which fades into rhythmic percussion and leads into a louder and guitar-based chorus. The lyrics are a bit naff and the vocals are a bit standard, but it’s quite a catchy song.

‘I tried to run a thousand miles, I spoke to God… I think of you every chance I get’

The single has a nice simplicity about it and the music doesn’t feel cluttered but the lyrics and instrumentals bring nothing new to the music scene. The electronic synth is so overdone in recent times that it has become a bit of a cliché and the lyrics sound unoriginal too, like they could have been written by anyone.

Simple and catchy, but unoriginal and too similar to too many other songs.
