Australian indie pop starlets Eliza & The Delusionals are experimenting with lighthearted, whimsical summer joy. Their new song, “Falling For You” is swoon-worthy, making even the starkest cynics beam with newfound optimism.

On the surface, “Falling For You” is a catchy pop song that touches on the moments when you realize you are officially down bad for someone. However, despite having a tried-and-true subject matter, the single feels exceptionally current.

Several layers of instrumentation stand out; the song’s arrangement makes it a top contender for strongest songwriting this year. Listeners can truly engage with the giddy energy of newfound feelings, perhaps with someone specific in mind, but even as a more generalized experience.

Lyrically and vocally strong, “Falling For You” sends us into summer on a high note. The nicely blended layer of saxophone isn’t jarring but fills out the entire mix perfectly, creating a sturdy sonic landscape for the band.
