Public Library Commute - Moonlight
By: Trevor Siebold IG/Twitter: @barelytrev
Conrad Hsiang, known to you all as Public Library Commute, and known to me as my favorite neo-soul, lofi-pop, genre-bending extraordinaire artist, is continuing his streak of melting hearts with his latest release, ‘Moonlight.’
This one is special. The third-count guitar carries such a creamy tone right off the bat, with a wave of romantic percussion wasting no time entering shortly after. This creates such a warm vibe to begin, and once PLC’s intimately-layered vocals come in, it’s wraps. The plethora of dreamy high ends and soulful lows is created by his ability to blend so many harmonies and textures. Not to mention the strings leading into the guitar solo at the end! Unreal.
Talk about living rent-free in my head! This song will be there for awhile. It’s clear that PLC is a generational talent when it comes to production, songwriting, and vocal performance. I’m excited to see what else 2021 has to offer for him!
Lyrics That Stick:
“All that I say
All that I do
I’m over the moon
Thinking of you”
