Read Time:1 Minute, 38 Second

The track opens with shimmering synths that immediately set a warm, dreamy atmosphere. It’s the kind of song that feels like it should be playing as you drive down an empty road at sunset. The production is slick, courtesy of WOTTS’ own Jayem, who also handles vocals and multi-instrumentalist duties. The 80s-inspired synth lines weave through a tight, punchy rhythm section, giving “Wilson” a groove that’s hard to resist.
What really stands out, though, is the way WOTTS has managed to infuse the track with an infectious energy that feels perfectly suited to the summer. The chorus is a real earworm, catchy without being overbearing, and it’s easy to imagine it becoming a staple at indie parties and festivals alike. There’s a certain lightness to the track, but also a depth that keeps you coming back for more listens. The more you dig into the layers of “Wilson,” the more you appreciate the duo’s knack for balancing accessibility with artistry.
WOTTS has been building momentum for a while now, and “Wilson” feels like a significant step forward for the band. It’s pop, but with a twist—like taking a nostalgic trip with the windows down and the volume up. If this is what we can expect from their upcoming EP Good People, Bad People, then we’re in for a real treat.
