When I’m With You is perhaps the vibrant, upbeat retro-pop number that we need to round off the Easter festivities. It’s a track with an easy groove, a laidback yet punchy instrumental arrangement, and romantic lyrics aplenty. Jason and Kelsey have been working together since 2017 and their rapport is clear in When I’m With You.

With this track, the pair have brought back classic pop elements that deserve a fresh outing, while showcasing their own individual musicianship. When I’m With You is, put simply, a fantastic track. You can give is a listen below.
