“Phantom Feelings” gets off to a captivating start with a colorful, enigmatic wall of sound. After hearing the song in its entirety, the intro makes perfect sense as an excerpt from the epic chorus.  Following the striking intro, “Phantom Feelings” settles into sleek dance-pop. Bentley Robles draws first blood, singing the first verse radiantly.  His tone is spot-on, and his sincerity is undisputed as you lean into every note and lyric he utters.  The melody is tuneful, catching the ears and engaging the first time you hear it. From there, the listener is blessed with a soaring chorus.  The sound is gargantuan, filled with energy, passion, and even more tunefulness. Frankie Grande delivers his solo moment in the second verse. This includes dropping an f-bomb 🫢.  It fits perfectly as he keeps the same energy as his partner in crime.  Like Bentley, the vocals are giving sheer excellence, with Grande complementing and contrasting Robles.  Following another powerful chorus, the bridge distinguishes itself from the rest of the song. Here, our handsome and talented fellas trade lines, leading to the grandest chorus of them all.  The synergy is incredible, with Grande’s theatrical ad-libs coming off marvelously. Without a doubt, “Phantom Feelings” is a surefire pop bop! Bentley Robles and Frankie Grande ate and left no crumbs with their expressive and passionate vocal performance.  Their vocal chemistry is incredibly impressive, especially during the bridge and the outgoing chorus.  Does this rank among the crème de la crème of 2026? You bet!
