A superbly melodic, breezy delight from the duo Freedom Fry, “If the World Was Mine” is described as “a feel-good yet slightly bittersweet song about living in an imagined ideal world.” The married duo — comprising “French girl Marie Seyrat and American boy Bruce Driscoll,” — will also be releasing several French-speaking tracks in the coming months.
As for “If the World Was Mine,” the track touts a weightless, hooky enamoring throughout with its bouncy piano, classic-minded guitar twangs, and harmonious dual-vocal entrancement. “I wish I had a beautiful life, I wish had a little more time,” the opening lyrics muse, building alongside sporadic piano bursts into the blissful chorus — “I know that if the world was mine, this time would only shine.” The track is a memorable piece of songwriting and production, fit for escapism as we witness the chaotic world around us.
