SINGLE REVIEW: Linn Holmstedt - Cruising with You

Single Review
Written By Amy

Linn Holmstedt’s 'Cruising with You' is a vibrant celebration of classic romance, reflecting her blend of gospel and rock influences. Known for her rich musical background, Linn combines her mother’s gospel roots with her father’s love for rock ‘n’ roll in this track, continuing her exploration of vintage-inspired love. The song paints a picture of an uncomplicated, dream-like romance reminiscent of old films.

Linn’s soulful vocals are the heart of the track, exuding an inviting charm and confident attitude. The laid-back instrumentation allows her voice to take centre stage, with perfect vocal harmonies highlighting her gospel influences. The track’s bright, uplifting vibe makes it feel like the perfect summer anthem for long drives, radiating sunshine and warmth.

Combining rock with an Americana twist, soul, and integrated gospel elements, 'Cruising with You' is a delightful mix of styles. The sweeping guitar bursts add an epic quality, and the chorus’s infectious nature may evoke memories of Hanson's 'Mmmmbop' in its catchiness. Linn Holmstedt’s track is a well-crafted showcase of her vocal prowess and a testament to her musical versatility.
