When you listen to Charlotte June's song "Pomegranate", you experience the blissful feeling of connection that comes with a loving relationship. Taking on the succulent sweetness of fruit, the lyrics explore the zesty, intimate, and assured nature of the speaker's relationship. The song begins by explaining the way that a day with your lover doing inconsequential things like watching "some Breaking Bad on a tiny screen" can be so much more meaningful than even the perfect beach day. Moving through the truths of distracting daydreams about your partner and the way you learn and understand how to work with one another's flaws, this track embodies the all-consuming nature of romantic vulnerability.
Ambient chords accompany a simple, hazy keyboard pattern to open the song. Gentle percussion and Charlotte's soft vocals join in the verse before the percussion gains in power and the singing takes on a rounded, louder voicing. Vocalizing, layers of singing, and a combination of breathy highs and near speak-singing give this track an intimate texture that adds an innate humanness to the tune and reflects the vulnerability of the lyrics. The chorus has a matter-of-fact sound with its heavenly highs and confident aura. This track hits the ear in a way that envelops the feelings of looking longingly at your lover. This song is SZA meets Lord Huron with its seductively sweet sound.
