Two Pop Voyages Through Longing, Distance and the Art of Letting Go
Friday Come Thru Vocals takes us searching with Cara Delevingne’s “Looking for You,” then lands on Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Amalfi Coast.” One tune circles the ache of reaching for connection; the other looks at love and goodbye through a sunlit, bittersweet pop lens.
Two tracks. Two discoveries. One daily detour.
Come Thru Vocals is INYIM’s long-running daily music discovery series spotlighting voices and songs worth hearing. Selections may also move into Musique Dig’s Weekly Playlist and rotation on INYIM Radio.
Cara Delevingne
Tune: Looking for You
WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EAR
Cara Delevingne’s “Looking for You” belongs to the searching, emotionally exposed side of her debut album Not Normal—a collection where the familiar fashion icon makes room for a more personal voice. What catches our ear is that push and pull between wanting someone near and sitting with the uncertainty of whether they will come closer.
Carly Rae Jepsen
Tune: Amalfi Coast
WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EAR
Carly Rae Jepsen turns the Italian coastline into a memory you can almost touch on “Amalfi Coast,” from Day and Night. Beneath the romantic scenery sits something more complicated: the tenderness of looking back at a goodbye without pretending it never hurt. That mixture of warmth, regret and pop immediacy is precisely why we keep returning to her songs.
Come back for the next daily detour. Keep discovering in the Come Thru Vocals archive, hear the week’s six strongest finds in Musique Dig’s Weekly Playlist, and keep the music moving on INYIM Radio.
