Perth musician Ethan French sees the beauty in simplicity, and his new single You’re My Home is a pop-soul track that’s a truly pleasurable listen. Ethan’s use of harmonies and production make the song feel like it’s washing over you, leaving you with a warm feeling that radiates throughout your whole body. There’s something deeply wholesome about You’re My Home, and I can’t get enough.
The way the production meshes with Ethan’s vocals is seamless, and each part of this song works together with the others to create a sense of serenity that I haven’t really heard in another song this year. While You’re My Home might seem streamlined on the surface, there’s a lot of musical knowledge that’s gone into capturing the feeling of love in a song, without resorting to cliched hallmarks of love songs that many artists rely on all-too-heavily. Instead, his lyrics and instrumentation, as well as his vocals, speak for themselves.
Speaking about the track, Ethan says, “Although I can’t get enough of intricate harmonies and rhythms, I also have a real affinity for pop. There’s something to be said for simplicity in music, at least on a surface level, and a focus on clean production that can make a song just as captivating.
“I’ve been wanting to try my hand at it for a little while, and You’re My Home was my first real attempt.” Sometimes, we don’t always succeed on the first try. However, in Ethan’s case, he’s well and truly succeeded at producing a pop earworm that’ll bury itself deep in your brain. If you can only listen to this once and once only, then I’d be surprised. It’s far too catchy to not end up in your playlists.
