\u201cCome Around\u201d is a song that celebrates that rare friendship you consider yourself lucky to have, if you can find one like it at all; someone who\u2019s always there for you, wherever they happen to actually be at the moment. That\u2019s the situation the GEMOLOGY<\/a> duo found themselves in when they composed \u201cCome Around,\u201d with singer\/songwriter Joanie Wolkoff living in Brooklyn and producer\/instrumentalist Natasha Chitayat in Los Angeles. They started the project after being stuck together in a recording studio during a rainstorm, and though there’s a whole continent between them now, they haven’t let that diminish their friendship or their\u00a0sound. They describe their process as writing together “through the digital ether,” which is reflected in lines like\u00a0<\/span>“I get my heart worked up every time you dial.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Propelled by synths and layered in a shimmery haze, “Come Around” is\u00a0a reassuring burst of warmth. The track opens with a chiming melody that settles into a steady beat for Wolkoff’s voice to float over and takes its time opening up, adding layers and themes before ending with a soft whisper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
