"I wanted you to choose me / over the dream you chose..."
The deeply electronica grooved, hope lined two way mirror of "7.5 Years" by Brooklyn NY born Sasha & The Bear, comfortably wraps around you like a heavy blanket full of sadness and two fisted resolve. The cleanly deep bass grooves and machine beats punctuated by tubular synth lines and swelling synth strings makes for a totally dreamy but sad framework. A perfect framework for singer-songwriter Sasha Daniel's evocative vocal countenance that might lean as somber but not depressive. The lilt in her voice, the character screams a resolve of things that happened, an acceptance of outcomes not wanted but feels steely eyed at the same time especially against the electric guitar lines that rise up while other production embellishments pull back a bit. The production flourishes, the universe building by 'The Bear' aka songwriter, producer, singer Dov Igel feels pitch perfect. An exercise in not doing too much.
LINER NOTES: (bracketed)
[This song was written in the aftermath of a breakup, capturing the grief of losing a profound love. The lyrics reflect a deep yearning to be chosen for who you truly are and reveal the raw struggle of navigating the feeling of being lost.]
