Matt Jaffe, “Favorite Song on Repeat” | Track Review 🎵

Singer/songwriter Matt Jaffe impresses once again with “Favorite Song on Repeat,” a dedicated, utterly sublime love song for the ages.

Question: did you know, “You are my favorite song on repeat?” Just think about how authentic, poetic, and truly dedicated that statement is.  It’s so incredibly romantic! Well, incredibly talented, independent singer/songwriter 🎙 Matt Jaffe delivers those sensational words on his latest single, 🎵 “Favorite Song on Repeat”. “Favorite Song on Repeat” commences with a ravishing intro which sets the tone for the rest of the record.  It is clear, merely from the instrumental that the song feels dedicated.  That indeed proves to be the case lyrically and thematically as Matt Jaffe embraces L-O-V-E.  He brings alluring, tender lead vocals to the table.  He’s compelling without dare over-singing, performing with incredible ease and expression.  The verses are incredibly melodic – tuneful to the ear the first time you hear the music.

A lovely melody isn’t simply reserved for the verses. Like the verses, the chorus is gorgeous and also incredibly tuneful.  Furthermore, some of the most memorable songwriting appears during the centerpiece:

“When I breathe, I know the rhythm matches up with your heartbeat,

Still, you are my favorite song on repeat

I believe, that if I listen long enough, I’ll be complete

Still, you are my favorite song on repeat.”

Those lyrics aren’t the only ones that resonate.  “Like a book of poems, we read each other’s mind / until the rhyme is lost beyond repair,” he sings poetically during the second verse, continuing, “We exchange our thoughts until they’re so entwined / The telepathic verses fill the air.” Now those are mic-drop-worthy lyrics! Anytime telepathy can be incorporated, you know the song is special! One final note that is worth mentioning is the stellar contrast provided during the bridge.  Even though there is a distinct separation between this section and the verses and chorus, Jaffe also makes it clear that they are related.  The bridge maintains the dreamy, romantic aesthetic that has been a fixture from the onset.

Final Thoughts 💭

After being wowed by 🎵 “Just an Echo”, I wondered how Matt Jaffe could match it or at least, keep the same energy.  Well, my friends and music enthusiasts, Jaffe has delivered another absolutely stunning record.  I love the dedicated nature of this record – it’s a truly genuine love song.  Again, if you haven’t boarded the Matt Jaffe train, now’s the time to do so!  This just might become your favorite song on repeat!
