My favorite Romance songs from the past year.
Romance
Michael Marcagi keeps “Keep Me Honest” feeling urgent and intimate.
Surfaces turns Golden into an instant mood-lift, the kind of track.
Lowercase Committee lands “Off Your Shoulder” like a fresh secret.
Ocie Elliott keeps These Days feeling brand-new: soft-spoken.
Ryan Harris lands "All I Have" with the kind of direct.
Annahstasia turns “Saturday” into the kind of fresh discovery.
All Night turns small hours into something electric.
Salt Tree makes “Take My Hand” feel like the kind of new find.
MORE&MORE turn "Every Time" into the kind of fresh discovery.
David McCredie lands Dream Life like a fresh discovery.
The hook lands fast, and right now that matters more than subtlety.
Abraham Colona, Bayshore Court, EyeMad land Every Single Day.
Romance rarely sounds this easy, and that’s exactly why it sticks.
Nothing sounds overworked; the track moves with a warm.
For a Romance pick, it’s the rare track.
Jonny Stanback hits a sweet spot with “California”: romantic.
