LISTEN: “Best in You” by Velvet Bloom

With its infectious horns, rich vocal harmonies, and uplifting message, the track is an impressive showcase of the band’s evolving sound.

These harmonies, thoughtfully arranged by the band, play off the horns in ways that feel both intricate and natural, creating a unique musical dialogue that elevates the track.

“Best In You” offers a message of compassion and understanding, celebrating the ability to see the good in others even when things aren’t perfect. It’s a reminder to embrace the complexities of our relationships by acknowledging both the flaws and strengths in those we care about. This theme is brought to life with a confident vocal performance that matches the song’s upbeat, feel-good vibe.
