Upbeat lyrics make Owl City light-hearted and a joy to listen to. Every song on their new album Ocean Eyes is impossible to stop listening to and their electronic genre provides plenty of beats easy to groove to.
Adam Young, a self proclaimed insomniac, has mixed feeling perfectly into his songs, although they all seem to blend together and become rather unidentifiable from each other due to his repetitious style after awhile. I don’t usually tend to be a fan of the Electronic genre, but something about Young’s style with it’s roots in the nights spent in his Owatonna, Minnesota basement proves to be new and fresh. He seems to understand the feelings of love and complete happiness which he has blended into his lyrics.
While his music may be too lacking of substance for some, he has succeeded in combining intoxicating happy lyrics with an upbeat mood that won’t leave you disappointed upon your first listen.
