We've channeled Prince's "1999" & studio vibes into "She's On My Mind," a funky track where each verse bursts with a new vocal personality. Inspired by the Purple One's layered grooves, we crafted a song built on a rolling bassline & infectious synth stabs. In true collab spirit, each member took a line, weaving a tapestry of voices that'll get stuck in your head.
In the vibrant tapestry of PlasticSole's musical journey, "She's On My Mind" emerges as a distinctive thread, weaving tales of desire, choices, and the relentless echoes in one's mind. Originally unveiled in February 2023 in an almost-live, in-studio version with a captivating music video, the song takes on new life in its definitive rendition.
Set against a mid-tempo backdrop, "She's On My Mind" propels forward with a driving groove, a heartbeat that carries the listener through the lyrical labyrinth of emotions. The rhythm becomes a vessel, carrying the weight of longing, contemplation, and the nuanced shades of personal choices.
This definitive version introduces PlasticSole's unique touch—a trifecta of voices. Dann, Jamie, and SJ take turns, each line an exquisite brushstroke on the canvas of sound. Drawing inspiration from Prince's iconic "1999," this dynamic interplay of voices adds layers of complexity, mirroring the multifaceted nature of the song's narrative.
The lyrics unfold like pages from a diary, revealing moments of vulnerability, introspection, and assertiveness. In the first verse, the plea to "do me a favour" sets the stage for a candid exploration of emotions. Choices made and their consequences become the focal point, echoing in the chorus with the haunting repetition, "She's on my mind."
The second verse delves deeper into the consequences of choices, with a poignant acknowledgment that decisions made affect not just the self but reverberate through the mental soundscape. The chorus becomes an anthem, an admission of the omnipresence of a significant other in the mind's recesses.
The final verse is a culmination, a resignation to circumstances, and a declaration of independence. Amidst the wrong noises and conflicting choices, there's a defiant stance with a cigarette in hand, and the fearless proclamation that "it's my time."
This rendition of "She's On My Mind" is a testament to PlasticSole's evolution and commitment to refining their craft. It's not just a song; it's a journey through the corridors of the mind, exploring the complexities of relationships and the internal dialogues that shape our choices.
In this definitive version, PlasticSole invites listeners to immerse themselves in a sonic experience that transcends boundaries. The trio of voices, the driving groove, and the emotionally charged lyrics converge to create a musical landscape that resonates with authenticity.
"She's On My Mind" stands as a testament to PlasticSole's ability to blend introspection with infectious grooves, leaving an indelible mark on the listener's soul.
