John Conlin, On Repeat | Song Review 🎵

Toronto pop singer/songwriter John Conlin drops his fourth single of 2024, “On Repeat,” a song that is incredibly easy to play on repeat.

Abeautiful, talented human hails from Toronto, Canada.  That would be pop singer/songwriter John Conlin. “On Repeat” marks the fourth single Conlin released in 2024. Once again, he ‘brings the heat’ with his pen and performance.  He produced “On Repeat” alongside Jamesfromtheinternet.  The musical accompaniment is sensational, led by rhythmic piano, guitar, and a banging drum groove.  The well-rounded production is tailor-made for Conlin’s boyish pipes. 

John’s radiant vocals are one of the biggest selling points of “On Repeat.” The Canadian sings with ease, never breaking a sweat. He sings smoothly; his upper register is sugar honey iced tea. Even when he adds ad-libs, he never does ‘too much’—it’s just right.  The melodies are memorable and tuneful from start to finish.  The centerpiece is the chorus, as to be expected: “I can imagine you and me / Dancing around ‘til 83 / I will be waiting on your street / Playing the song on r-r-repeat. Other notes about “On Repeat.” The songwriting is satisfying (“Baby, just look in my wide eyes / I’ll be waiting for the right time / If you need a second or two… / That’s alright”). Also, the form is well organized and easy to follow: verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, etc.).  John Conlin delivers the goods “On Repeat”, a song that is incredibly easy to play on r-r-repeat!
