'Paraphon', an up-and-coming band from Switzerland, present a rousing mix of synth pop and synthwave with their song 'Lovebomb'. The track captivates with a danceable atmosphere and an energetic mood that immediately draws the listener in.
Right from the start, you are greeted by a driving bassline that determines the rhythm of the song. This is accompanied by fine analogue synthesizer sounds that give the track a touch of 80s nostalgia. This nostalgic note is a characteristic feature of the song and gives it a very special charm.
The vocals in 'Lovebomb' are harmonious and fit wonderfully into the overall composition. The artist's gentle yet powerful voice lends the song a certain naivety and dreaminess that harmonises perfectly with the background music. A pleasant symbiosis is created between the vocal lines and the catchy synth melodies.
One aspect that I personally find critical is the recurring electric guitar, especially in the bridge of the song. Unfortunately, this seems a bit generic and can slightly detract from the overall impression. Nevertheless, this is a subjective assessment and other listeners may well find this addition successful.
