As Free Cake for Every Creature, singer-songwriter Katie Bennett pays special attention to the simple joys, transforming her observations into intimate indie-pop. “Around You,” the lead single from the Philly artist’s upcoming album The Bluest Star, feels bolder than her earlier, lo-fi work. In it, she gushes about the rush of elation caused by a new and scary relationship, stringing together charming scenes of infatuation—braiding someone’s hair, exchanging of love letters, hanging out nonstop—over chugging acoustic guitar and scampering drums, her joy blossoming beautifully like late-spring magnolias. Bennett’s cool, energetic vocals are the highlight of the track, adding gusto to the bright, lovestruck lyricism. The song hits its emotional pinnacle every time Bennett croons the song’s title, her voice transforming from a near-whisper to a forceful vibrato as she sings, “The light just wants to hang around you.” On “Around You,” Katie Bennett’s transforms her starry-eyed romantic bliss into the kind of captivating track you don’t want to turn off.
