The harp sounds in the introduction to Cydnee with a C’s “Don’t We Always” sets the mood for an upbeat song with a fragile delicacy. The vocals are almost falsetto in character and border on hyperpop except there isn’t the hint of pitch shifting or autotune in the processing. Rather, the song feels very raw and wide open in its vulnerability. It brings together what might in another style of music be called indie folk with glitchy electronic pop and a low key glitchcore beat. And the effect is one of expressing expertly and subtly affection and love for someone with whom you have an uncommonly intimate connection. Many if not most love songs are corny but here Cydnee with a C bypasses the tropes and platitudes and roots her words in everyday experiences we often take for granted but which are the foundations of a lasting and real love that doesn’t need the melodramatic overtures.
