A melodic pop delight, “Flyin’ Home From Bali” is a breezy, island-set success from Love Montage. Lush guitars and twinkling keys join with charming, dreamy vocals — relaying “the inner monologue of a rich man who spends his days in an island paradise — alone.” A sense of ’60s surf nostalgia is apparent amidst wordless vocals and keys past the one-minute mark. “Flyin’ Home From Bali” has a tendency to transport to a lusher, comfortable place, in terms of soundscape, all while the lyrics emphasize a yearning. The track hooks melodically from the get-go and never quite lets go.
