If you’re in the mood for an upbeat catchy synth-pop this summer then head to Jodi Valentin’s Ghost. It’s a song that wouldn’t be out of place in a coming of age / Rom-Com film (I’m thinking 1987 film Mannequin featuring Kim Cattrall or more recently Jennifer Garner’s 13 Going On 30) with its fun 80s pop vibe, smooth vocals, and crisp production.
I’d give anything to let you go
But there’s no control
When you’re haunted By a ghost
Ghost is a breakup song where Jodi Valentin can’t forget about her ex-love, “everywhere I go, you’re my ghost“. The track starts warm and soft then soon changes tempo to a melodic electro-pop jam which lingers for a long time…rather like a ghost.
