We're not going to lie: This week hasn't been an easy one for a lot of people. And though one song isn't going to change that, the first track off of
Millionyoung's upcoming album makes us smile.
Put aside the bouncy beats and sun-washed guitar lines; what gets us on "Lovin" is that this is an unabashed love song. "It's about a girl I couldn't get out of my head. Pop stuff," explains Millionyoung--aka Mike Diaz, the Florida-based musician who makes up the band. He's not kidding--the opening lines of the song are, "Oh I can't forget you / You are always on my mind / And every time I see you / I lose all track of time."
It's not just us who enjoy listening to it; Diaz lists it among one of his favorites to work on while putting together his new album,
Variable, which comes out in February. "It was a lot of fun, sort of a different approach than I usually do. I was really digging into soul music while working on this record, and it's probably most present in this song," says Diaz.
So consider this your good vibes pick-up to usher in the weekend--because we've got the exclusive premiere, and it's available to download, which means you can listen to it over and over again. That's something we really love.
