Originally hailing from Chicago and now based in Los Angeles, Waverly Drive is the artistic banner of producer and multi-instrumentalist Phil Galloni. Over the years, his musical output has seen him win over fans in the indie pop scene, blending influences from rock, new wave and electronic stylings into his own highly original sound.
His music provides a timeless yet modern sonic experience, ideal for those seeking to immerse themselves in dreamy and mesmeric soundscapes that still thread memorable hooks throughout the musical fabric of his composition. In May 2022, he unveiled Waverly Drive with the debut single “Callin for Nothin,” followed by two more singles leading up to his first EP, Living in a Fantasy, later that year.
This marked the beginning of his journey as an indie pop artist, quickly gaining attention for his lush and atmospheric sound. With more singles and his sophomore EP, Now I Know, released the following year, Waverly Drive has continued to evolve and develop his sound, staking his claim as a must-watch artist in the indie pop sphere. Not only a solo artist, since 2015 he’s been running Voltiv Sound, a recording studio where he has collaborated with a variety of artists such as Magic Wands, Monica Martin and Joe Sumner.
Recently dropping his single “Push My Luck,” the title song from his brand new EP, the five tracks on this release filters themes of love, trust, loss and twin flames, all viewed through a lens of escapism and abstract surrealism. Now brings us his latest single lifted from the EP with the track titled “Taste of Love,” an uptempo exploration of the elusive and abstract nature of love itself.
Setting a bright tone with the dancing flutter of synth leads, the track shimmers with a vibrant arrangement as the artist’s smooth vocals soar above to spin airy melodic leads above. With the entrance of the uptempo beat, a danceable energy propels the colourful synth-driven sound as catchy vocal leads drift above, resulting in a dreamy indie pop jam that’s impossible not to love.
With storytelling lyricism and a buoyant sound that flows throughout, “Taste of Love” serves up a playful pop-focused outing that puts Waverly Drive’s charming sonic output on full display. Coming off the back of the success of his third EP, fans can expect more musical treasures to come from this talented artist and his unique musical vision.
