A.O. Gerber returns with ‘Looking For The Right Things’


If you are looking for a dreamy tune that will ease your mind for three and a half minutes, then you are at the right place: A.O. Gerber’s new track will trigger your deepest hopes and feelings.

Starting with its rather melancholic or soothing synth chords, depending on your mood, as well as smooth vocals and harmonies, the catchy chorus melody will stick in your mind — we aren’t mad about that. But then, somewhere in the background, drums kick in and give the tune a boost of energy whilst still remaining in that same “close your eyes and listen to the music” vibe.

The ending is my personal favourite part: all of the energies carried throughout the song merge into one. A loop of mesmerizing vocals and harmonies are backed by the dynamic drums and the mellow synth chords. The harmonies looping tends to give off a feeling of being “stuck” but the main vocals break out of it in the most peaceful way.

This overall ethereal song belongs to those in which you’re not sure how many choruses and verses you’ve listened to as transitions between them are so fluid and easy to listen to (in the nicest way, of course). 

This return after her album Another Place To Need is more than appreciated!
