The Montreal alt-pop artist crafts a sonic landscape that mirrors the dizzy euphoria of newfound attraction, blending airy vocals with a beat that thrums like an accelerated heartbeat.

From the opening notes, tunnel vision envelops the listener in a mesmerising instrumental arrangement.

Electronic elements and synths weave together, creating an atmospheric backdrop that sets the perfect stage for Holt’s smooth, soulful vocals to take centre stage.

Dee Holt’s delivery evokes vulnerability and sensuality as her voice glides effortlessly over the music, each word imbued with the nervous energy of a crush.

The pre-chorus, “I wonder what you think of me / ‘Cause I’m thinkin’ of you endlessly,” captures the circular thoughts of early attraction with pinpoint accuracy.

The chorus on tunnel vision truly stands out, and Dee Holt’s repetition of “Oh, boy, boy, boy, boy” is infectiously catchy, mirroring the way a crush’s name might echo in one’s mind.

The phrase “I got tunnel vision with you” encapsulates the all-consuming nature of new romance, where the object of affection becomes the sole focus of one’s world.

Lyrically, Dee Holt navigates the terrain of early attraction with both playfulness and depth.

Lines like “Adrenaline is high, or maybe I’m just seasick” cleverly capture the physical symptoms of infatuation.

The song’s bridge, with its admission of “I love your face / Baby, shouldn’t say / Everything that I’m thinkin’ inside my brain,” adds a layer of relatable self-awareness to the heady rush of emotions.

This track is more than just a summer fling anthem; it’s a vivid snapshot of that exhilarating moment when a crush consumes your every thought.

Dee Holt’s tunnel vision invites listeners to relive their own experiences of infatuation, all while bobbing along to its irresistible beat.

It certainly marks Dee Holt as an artist to watch in the alt-pop scene.

Dee Holt “tunnel vision” Lyrics

Verse 1
I get dizzy, head is spinning
Feelin’ feelings the closer you get to me
Baby, I don’t know where this thing will go
In the future, but right now you’re all I see

Pre-Chorus
I wonder what you think of me
‘Cause I’m thinkin’ of you endlessly
I, I, I, overanalyze
Boy, give me a sign
Or tell me if you don’t agree

Chorus
Oh, boy, boy, boy, boy
I got tunnel vision with you
Oh, boy, boy, boy, boy
Stuck in your starstruck, mm
Adrenaline is high, or maybe I’m just seasick
When you look into my eyes and drift down to my lips, mm
Oh, boy, boy, boy, boy
I got tunnel vision with you, you

Verse 2
Mm, I love your face (Love your face)
Baby, shouldn’t say (Shouldn’t say)
Everything that I’m thinkin’ inside my brain

Pre-Chorus
I wonder what you think of me
‘Cause I’m thinkin’ of you endlessly (I’m thinkin’ of you endlessly)
I, I, I overanalyze (‘Lyze)
Boy, give me a sign (Sign)
Or tell me if you don’t agree (Mm)

Chorus
Oh, boy, boy, boy, boy
I got tunnel vision with you
Oh, boy, boy, boy, boy
Stuck in your starstruck, mm
Adrenaline is high, or maybe I’m just seasick
When you look into my eyes and drift down to my lips, mm
Oh, boy, boy, boy, boy
I got tunnel vision with you, you
