Russel Louder - Come Around

Canadian singer, songwriter, and producer Russel Louder follows their splendid debut album HUMOR with the catchy and exquisitely danceable “Come Around.” The track’s chorus is a very subtle and elegant nod to “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record),” really just enough to feel something like recognition and be excited for more. Turns out, I’m not even so off with my notion here because Russell says about their new single:

“Come Around” is a pop sharp-tongued symphonic play-by-play of a duplicitous figure in my life reeling me into their web of deceit. Instead of analyzing my experience, I used the writing of the song as a space for imagining what the other could have been thinking or strategizing. Often I find it hard to draw on musical influence for a particular song but I remember that the early demos for Come Around were created when I was listening to a lot of Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, and Dead or Alive.

Makes me almost a bit sad that I can’t add “Come Around” to our newly created playlist with Best European 80s, because “Come Around” would fit beautifully in! But we’ll have it in our glamglarepick playlist instead.
