“It Was You” is one of those songs that seems to be all things to all people, not in a compromising sort of way. Jason Sinay isn’t the sort of person to tick boxes or merely give people what they want. Instead, he prefers to give them what they didn’t know they wanted or what they didn’t realize they needed. And “It Was You” is just such a song.
And I say this because when you listen to this single’s lilting and lovely ways, its perfect blend of muscle and melody, no matter who you are or your preferred music, it speaks to you, and does so eloquently.
If you like heavier music, you will take comfort in its robust groove. If you like the rootsy sound, then its cool country licks will charm you. Pop fans will find lots to love in its infectious and immediate ways, and blues fans will marvel at its drifting guitars and driven solos. And, if you like to dance, flip a wig, cut a rug and generally get physical, this is a song that looks you in the eye and dares you not to move!
In the face of songs like this and artists like Jason Sinay, genres go out of the window. Such deftly combined sonic creations really only need one label—future classic. And given the passing of enough time, just the second word in that phrase will eventually suffice. Trust me, I do this for a living; I know what I’m talking about.
