Justin Hawkins strikes a classic note with his new song, “with you,” an enchanting mix of contemporary R&B. The song shows Hawkins’ talent for pairing emotion with melody, providing an experience long after the song has passed.
From the very first note of the song, listeners are drawn into a personal soundscape in which the lyrics reign. He wields soothing vocals as he layers one line over another, telling you a story of love, longing, or maybe that indefinable thing we all are searching for. His voice flows smoothly, supported by striking harmonies, providing warmth and depth to every moment.
“with you” gives space to the song to breathe but also maintains the listener’s attention through enlightenment. The modern R&B influence is apparent, but Hawkins isn’t afraid to sprinkle in other genre elements, resulting in a fresh sound.
