With their shimmering new single, “Over And Over,” Wishy distills the tenderness of wanting more, the quiet bravery of accepting, and the push-pull tango between ambition and fact. It’s all bundled into a shiny, 90s-inspired alt-pop package that could’ve been plucked directly off the Clueless soundtrack, in the most positive sense of the word.
The track is slick and immediate but also threaded with emotional weight. A bittersweetness shimmers beneath that well-worn sheen, a kind of emotional honesty that propels “Over And Over” through the years. From the first hook, it’s clear this is a narrative about the cycles we live in, the dreams we pursue, the critical moments we miss, and the quiet resilience it takes to keep moving forward.
Long before Wishy was even a band, Kevin Krauter wrote the song in 2020. The music is candid about desire, ambition, disappointment, acceptance, and playing the cards you’re dealt. Those themes shimmer and are knotted in every layer of the song, from its rhythmic pulse to its longing lyrics. And then, Nina’s voice pierced through the track like sunlight parting a cloudy sky. Combined with Krauter’s rooty songwriting and Ben’s crisp production, “Over And Over” feels less like the sum of its parts. It’s a track that sounds effortlessly cool but hits somewhere deeper the more you listen. The chemistry between the band members is just right and not showy.
“Over And Over” sounds lived-in and present and glows with a sort of retro familiarity that’s hard to resist. It’s the sound of a band finding an emotional throughline, providing something tangible to grasp. With this release, Wishy makes their claim not only as revivalists of dreamy alt-pop but also as a voice of honest storytelling in an increasingly polished, rich world.
