Freedom Fry hit some nostalgic notes with its new single “Midnight Serenade.” In the beginning the wordless vocal phrase, repeated later as a kind of chorus, and mood of the song is reminiscent of Suzanne Vega’s 1987 hit song “Tom’s Diner.” This resonance feeds into how the song has the sound of a time of day more than suggested by the title. And the lyrics of thoughts looking back on a chance potentia romantic encounter with a stranger that in retrospect feels like it could have come from a dream. Then to subsequently entertaining fantasies of what could have been and might still be after our narrator sobers up and can’t stop thinking about “our midnight serenade.” The funk guitar riff and sweeping synth melodies soaring over and under the vocals and weaving throughout the song all accented by a nicely subtle rhythm lingers long after the song is over too, the mark of we well crafted pop song as is usual for the duo.
