Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler, …how you fall in love | Track Review

Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler join forces to deliver the incredibly enjoyable and sweet single “this is how you fall in love.”

“This is how you fall in love / Let go and I’ll hold you up.” Aww, what better subject matter than love for a pop duet? Continue with that excerpt, please! “So, pull me tight and close your eyes / Oh, my love, side to side” Ah – chorus that exemplifies sheer perfection to the nth degree! On “this is how you fall in love”, Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler join forces (once again) to deliver a radiant song all about L-O-V-E.  The chemistry between the two is superb, while separately, they sound pretty sweet as well. Zucker and Cutler both wrote and produced this sub-three-minute gem. 

On “this is how you fall in love,” Jeremy Zucker delivers a gorgeous vocal performance; his tone is impeccable.  He sings with incredible authenticity; he sounds expressive, nuanced, and tender.  One of Zucker’s best moments is incredibly subtle, when he sings “Oh” on the pre-chorus (it recurs post-second verse). The same praise can be bestowed upon Chelsea Cutler, who appears on the second verse.  Notably, Cutler has an expanded sound palette accompanying her, as well as getting a lift via layered vocals.  Cutler’s second verse serves as the transition to loftier heights for “this is how you fall in love.”  Even as the record ascends to a fever pitch, Zucker and Cutler’s ‘duet section’ intentionally brings things back down – a great thoughtful touch.  

Final Thoughts  

Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler – now that’s a power duo right there.  As always, they deliver the goods – that satisfying, decadent ear candy – on “this is how you fall in love.”  There’s a degree of simplicity as well as a degree of utter satisfaction.  Perhaps it’s not game changing, but you’ll easily find yourself falling in love with this pop duet.
