It’s in the bitter cold that many of us start counting the days until we can head back into the routine of sitting in the warm sun after work until late into the evening. Days get longer and things feel bliss. If a song could truly transport you back to an exact moment, that’s where Nesta’s ‘Sunshine’ would take me.
The London-based singer uses a spin of modern soul-sounding vocals, similar to the likes of Cleo Soul, and an assortment of jazz cords to create a sonic soundscape. This is what truly encapsulates the summertime feelings and floods her listeners with a sense of serenity and relaxation.
The maintained reference to ‘sunshine’ drives the narrative of the song through feelings and emotional development, rather than lyrical progression. Some may find no use for this, but to other listeners, the continued reference allows them to achieve an almost climatic state of calm.
