Warm drums sit back. Keys glow softly at the edges. Sax provides a retro feel. Perfect for Alyssa Jane’s tone; light with a slight nasal hue.
The lower register stays rich and sure. She moves with a melodic fast paced cadence, then slides into song. The switch feels natural and compact.
She shifts gears effortlessly. Fast phrases land cleanly. Sung lines bloom and settle. Control shows in tiny bends and sighs.
The lyrics are somewhat nostalgic. “So you’ve been on my mind,” paths split, yet the thought remains.
“Whether I go left… whether you go right.” Choice meets persistence. The “bedroom mirror” image is clear. “And the windex never lies” gives a knowing wink.
SV’s production works in tandem with Alyssa; bass tucks close. Percussion pats rather than snaps. Reverb stays tasteful and light. When she quickens, the beat holds firm. When she leans, the mix gives air.
Honesty is central, even when it stings. Two paths diverge, but the feeling stays. Memory becomes a mirror that never lies.
“Our Verdict: ‘On My Mind’ is a complete package. Alyssa Jane’s graceful command, met by SV’s hypnotic production, creates a late-night R&B moment that’s as emotionally charged as it is coolly assured.
