Saint Levant & PLAYYARD, “I Guess” [📷: 2048 LLC, Brent Faulkner, The Musical Hype, OpenClipart-Vectors from Pixabay]Saint Levant and PLAYYARD make a formidable team on their short but utterly sweet, vibe of a  single, “I Guess.”

“Said I like the way that you talk to me / I like the way you go far for me / I like the way that you look in my eyes / And say, ‘I want you inside me’.” Oh, $h#†, 🎙 Saint Levant (Marwan Abdelhamid)! Abdelhamid, a musician with a diverse background (Palestinian/French/Algerian/Serbian) has no shortage of confidence, swagger, and dare I say, sex appeal.  Furthermore, he knows how to make a bop – construct a surefire vibe.  After wowing with the brief but potent single, 🎵 “Very Few Friends”, he brings the heat once more on 🎵 “I Guess” alongside 🎙 PLAYYARD.

Saint Levant & PLAYYARD, “I Guess” [📷: 2048 LLC]PLAYYARD kicks “I Guess” off, singing the chorus and post-chorus.  “I know you’ve been thinking of us / While you living it up,” he sings memorably, adding, “You said it was never enough / And now you’re thinking of us in the club / But I guess/ I guess you know it all, don’t you, baby?” Saint Levant follows with the verse excerpted above, adding Arabic to the mix, before revisiting English, in versatile fashion: “Uh, I was seventeen when I left home / Timbaland to my headphones / Now it’s just Marek and Pedro and we / Ayy, I don’t think you really want me, baby…” Beyond intriguing performances by PLAYYARD and Saint Levant, “I Guess” is well produced, set in a minor key, and pleasing to the ears.


Final Thoughts 💭

fire sunglassesAll told, 🎵 “I Guess” gives Saint Levant another hit. If you have not checked this man out, you are missing out.  He and PLAYYARD shine on this short but sweet joint.  Maybe it won’t change your life but it will surely enhance your playlist!
