A swooning, relaxing, and altogether lackadaisical jazz pop ballad, Lucy James’ divine vocals on ‘Underwater’ make for the perfect laidback tune on a lazy afternoon. With guitar work done by Connor Botherway-Hill, the track delves into the concept of distancing and disassociation, managing to transform the intricacies and dexterity of complex jazz melodies into the soothing sensations that you’d imagine from a still ocean. Lucy James soothing vocal harmony is the undoubted highlight on this piece, the kind of swooning ethereal performance that has you entirely and wholly caked in the best kind of comfort. You feel yourself sinking, but not in a way where you’re panicked or distressed, rather accepting and allowing yourself to be submerged beneath it all.
