Would You opens with an intimate guitar soundscape and an ad-lib of the title of the track before L3o share the words, “I left quiet, no final line, no message I could read a bajillion times, just space where my person used to be, now I talk to that space more than me…”

We deeply connect with the authenticity in the prose and the vulnerability that L3o bring to life with their message. The layered choruses with both sets of vocals intertwined are sublime, whilst the second verse and onwards gives the narrative depth and perspective.

There is no doubt that Would You is perfect for a multitude of sync placements, notably a romantic Hollywood movie that reflects the notions of the message. In essence, Would You is about the painful question that many of us carry after a breakup. At its core, the song focuses on that quiet doubt and emotional tension. L3o keeps the production simple and intimate, allowing the vocals to feel honest and exposed.

We learn that Would You is L3o’s sixth release and their previous songs have gained strong playlist support, including placements on Fresh Finds and chill pop lists. L3o is a project created by two producers and songwriters based in New York and Miami. They design their sound to fuse late night club energy with emotional, vocal focused storytelling. The featured singers on their tracks have already reached tens of millions of streams worldwide, bringing experience and a wider audience.

Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Would You to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of L3o, including I Wasn’t, and Unsaid.

Establishing the mood with a sublime and ethereal guitar performance, an astral organ synth and textured drums, The Burton D’Agostini Procedure opens Would You with cinematic allure and warm vocals.

We experience the lyrics, “If you are lonely still, I am the one that will be there for you, if I could turn back time…” which resonate with a sense of comfort and calm. The entire production manifests as a cohesive tapestry of sound with a high emotional quotient.

There is intricacy in the design, whilst the layered vocals come to life with precision and somewhat psychedelic notions. We could imagine Would You being played poolside on the rooftop of Petit Ermitage in Hollywood at Cirque Gitane – a location where they often play trippy slow-motions songs like this. The instrumentation is masterful and perfect for a multitude of synch placements, notably a TV show like Nine Perfect Strangers which has psychedelic constructs, or perhaps PLUR1BUS on Apple TV.

Drawing influences that include Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, MGMT, Tame Impala, The Flaming Lips, and Cage the Elephant, the track is a flawless hybrid of vintage psychedelia with a futuristic and refined mix. It also reminds us of Kavinsky‘s Nightcall. It was recorded at Lost Chord Studios near Grand Rapids, Michigan.

We learn how the production leans into expansive stereo imaging, layered instrumentation, and lush melodic textures designed specifically for immersive headphone listening.  The Burton D’Agostini Procedure share how it was also inspired by the studio artistry of producers such as Alan Parsons, Paul Rothchild, Tony Clarke, and George Martin.

Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Would You to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream the entirety of The Burton D’Agostini Procedure‘s album, As Clowns Drift By.
