Blew My Mind is Romain Gutsy’s Single Out Now
There’s no build-up, no overture. Just the voice, immediate and clear, drawing you in with a melody that’s anything but straightforward.
It folds back on itself with subtle intricacies that make you double-check what decade you’re in, past and present collide without effort.
The delivery is intimate, worn in like a favorite leather jacket. There’s a definite echo of Lou Reed in the vocal phrasing, casual, observant, yet deeply intentional. But just when you think you’ve got the song figured out, a twist in the chorus catches you off guard. There’s a fleeting brightness that oddly conjures a memory of Take on Me, especially in the first part of the chorus, not in tone, but in the emotional flicker it provokes, a kind of unreachable joy tangled in melancholy.
Elements of folk, classic songwriting, and rock flow together in a track that resists being pinned to any specific time or trend.
The whole piece feels like a daydream with edges, something you can’t quite hold onto, possibly mirroring the friend referenced in the lyrics, chasing something ungraspable and ultimately fading in the pursuit.
Harmonically, the shifts are fascinating. The song climbs with moments of near-transcendence only to drop suddenly—especially on the word “Down,” which Gutsy delivers with a kind of gravity that shakes the illusion of flight. The sonic equivalent of chasing shadows.
Lyrically, “Blew My Mind” continues to prove Gutsy’s skill as a writer. His words don’t just tell a story—they leave space around it, allowing the listener to fill in the emotional blanks with their own reflections.
