In the 57^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz 🔥 (2024), we break down “Until I Found You” performed by Stephen Sanchez.

“Georgia, wrap me up in all your / I want ya in my arms”. Aww, Stephen 🥰! Stephen Sanchez is firmly a member of Generation Z (born in 2002). However, judging by the sound of his music, you’d guess he’s much older.  The ‘old soul’ struck gold with “Until I Found You” which originally appeared on What Was, Not Now.  The multiplatinum single reappeared on his 2023, gold-certified debut album, Angel Face. Written by Sanchez, Ian Fitchuk and Konrad Snyder produced it.

“Until I Found You” embraces old-school, retro-pop.  While it’s sound hearkens to the past, it’s ultimately refreshing.  The guitars sound particularly gorgeous.  Sanchez serves up beautiful, expressive vocals. He’s supported by strong background vocals that contribute sweet vocal harmonies.  “Until I Found You” benefits from fabulous songwriting and tuneful melodies, particularly in the centerpiece, the chorus:

“I would never fall in love again until I found her

I said I would never fall unless it’s you I fall into

I was lost within the darkness, but then I found her

I found you.”

The ‘Club Deluxe’ version of Angel Face includes the Em Beihold version of “Until I Found You”. Beihold sings a brand-new second verse (“Heaven / When I held you again / How could / We ever just be friends?”). Whatever rendition of “Until I Found You” you listen to is utterly sweet and satisfying.
