Lynney Williamson has delivered a pulse-quickening embrace with her remix single, “I See You.” There is something inherently charming about a Glasgow artist crafting polished electronic pop within the confines of a walk-in cupboard; it suggests that the most expansive emotions don’t actually need much physical space to breathe.
The track is a shimmering collision of 80s-inspired synth-pop and modern urgency. It hits with a sequence of bright, rhythmic tones that feel like neon lights reflecting off rain-slicked pavement. Those high-frequency pulses and echoing beats create a driving energy that feels less like a casual stroll and more like a sprint toward someone you love.
At its heart, “I See You” is a rescue mission. Inspired by the journey of her friend, Donna, Lynney explores the heavy, protective instinct we feel when we see someone we care about spiraling. It’s a song about loyalty the kind that stays when the lights go out. While the lyrical depth touches on grief and the loss of old aspirations, the music refuses to let you wallow. It wants you to move. It’s a danceable sanctuary.
Listening to this, I’m struck by how the nostalgia of the synths provides a sense of safety, like a familiar childhood home, while the production keeps us firmly in the present. It’s a vibrant reminder that being seen is often the first step toward being saved.
When the world feels like it’s dismantling itself around you, who is the person that stays to help you pick up the pieces?
