Cambridge-hailing, award-winning music producer Sam Macdonald encapsulates the sudden spark of unexpected attraction on "Starry Eyed," a vibrant pop anthem featuring folk-inspired singer-songwriter Rachel Hill. Laden with feelings of infatuation and impulsivity, the track taps into Macdonald's signature earworm style rooted in warming yet groovy pop sensibilities.
Built on silky vocals, luscious chords and the rich textures of 80s funk and synthpop, the track strikes an intricate balance between nostalgia and modernity with its sharp arrangement, euphoric vibe and its retro pop signature. Capturing the overwhelming feeling of being pulled into feelings and allowing yourselves to immerse in it fully, the track feels emotive and relaxing all at once.
Speaking of the track, he says, "‘Starry Eyed’ is about giving yourself permission to feel something fully, even if it’s messy or impulsive. If it makes someone dance, smile, or think about that one person they can’t get off their mind, then it’s done exactly what I hoped it would."
Having honed his skills studying Music Production at Leeds Conservatoire, Macdonald has continue to steadily shape catchy, layered soundscapes to create an intimate yet relatability artistry.
