“Where did my sanity go?” Erin Côté asks on the intriguing new single “Crazy Ex Girlfriend,” which finds the Vancouver-based artist navigating a charismatic pop sound with string-laden cinematic appeal. Snap-laden percussion, swelling strings, and confident vocals assemble alongside reflections on a relationship whose tumult can result in feeling a bit haywire.
A melodic bridge, approaching the two-minute mark, laments that “you caught me off my guard,” — “you add me to a list, of all the girls you’ve kissed.” The artistic pop sound complements a compelling lyrical navigation that provides an alternative perspective to those may be seen as “crazy,” — despite they themselves being the victims of another’s bad behavior. Erin Côté blends inventive pop production with stimulating lyrical perspective on the engaging “Crazy Ex Girlfriend.”
