“Sweet Pea” by Silent Income is a dreamy indie pop track with enchanting guitars and gripping vocals that sings of a pure love story, expressing that beautiful feeling of just wanting to get to know someone and be around them as much as you can. Silent Income, a talented duo made up of singer-songwriter Marcella Wright and instrumentalist-producer Sam Billinghurst-Walsh, offers riveting rhythms and a dynamic arrangement in this song, opening the tune with melodic, filtered guitars that immediately get you hooked on their unique textures.
Lyrics like “you put a little extra sweetness in my tea” and “wanna see you every day” show the excitement that comes with building a relationship. In the beginning stages, giddy feelings can almost make you feel addicted to the other person, hoping to see them all the time and know everything about them as quickly as possible. Then, once it becomes more settled, you’re able to appreciate the little ways the other person improves your life- like making your tea taste just a bit sweeter. “Sweet Pea” is a charming love song, vulnerably exploring what it’s like to want to give a person everything, and have everything from them.
Intimate vocals, pretty harmonies, and triumphant bells are just some of the elements that give this song extra joyous sonics. The instrumental break is one of the most captivating parts of the tune, using subtle bouncing piano, walking bass, and inviting drums to welcome the listener in. The interplay of guitars is particularly uplifting, with both melodic riffs and stuttering rhythms offering ear candy through every beat.
