Nottingham's Naples-born singer-songwriter and NHS doctor, Euplasia, is back with an all-new single, "You Wonder". This track is a combo of a catchy pop tune and grown-up thoughts about life and the future. The song is a very big question: What do our children, and we, have to look forward to? The response is a little difficult to pin down, because Euplasia combines bounce-along sounds with deeper sentiments, with the overall effect not 'retro' so much as uniquely timeless.
"You Wonder" grabs your attention with an energetic groove that makes it the kind of song you want to play over and over again. It's pop music with content, pleasant enough for easy listening and stuffed full of the emotional difficulties of growing up, evolving, and raising kids. Euplasia's warm voice makes it sound like he's giving you a sense of what occupies him on his off day, along with the subtle thoughts that crop up in his head.
This single is also written as a subtle signal, suggesting that Euplasia's style is changing. Now, after years of focusing on his medical career and family, he shares songs that chronicle the magic of childhood, the difficult moments of letting go, and the optimism that can accompany life's unpredictable journeys. The sound mirrors the challenges of everyday life but is lifted by a happy vibe that lightens the heaviness of its themes.
"You Wonder" is a sample from a new album that dovetails sincere sentiment with well-crafted pop songs, musically diverting and thought-provoking all at once. For anyone who's ever wondered what will happen to themselves, their family, or the world, Euplasia's newest single is a sweet and thoughtful reminder that, while wonder might evolve as we age, it never truly diminishes.
