“Cool To You” is a supremely catchy single from Teenage Priest, the solo project of Los Angeles-based Taylor Van Ginkel. Spacious keys and tight percussion accompany fairly nonchalant vocals to start, with emergence of bass and synths past the 30-second mark ushering in a confident chorus. A robotic vocal effect at the one-minute turn is infectiously incorporated. A dreamy guitar bridge is another highlight a minute later, helping lead into a satisfying conclusion. “Cool To You” is a track that entices replays with its melodic charm. Teenage Priest is definitely a project I’ll keep my ears out for.
