‘You Don’t Get It’ charts Wyn’s journey from her hometown to the big lights of Manchester. Her opening gambit “City is lonely, it’s not what it seems” is tinged with the trepidation and isolation a big move comes with. Despite being just 18, she has the vocal skill to plunge the listener into a state of anxiety immediately.
Sam Fender and Andrew Cushin have been writing melancholic but euphoric singles in recent years. Wyn is threatening to eclipse them on this ode to herself that it’s ok to fall on a journey of self-discovery. The country-tinged guitars, PJ Harvey meets First Aid Kit vocal, and Quinn’s subtle production are set to become millions of teenagers' soundtracks through life’s biggest obstacles.
The self-doubt and subsequent reassurance of the chorus are beset with a tumbling melody that demands instant classic status. Each verse acts as a coming-of-age drama worthy of This Life, Skins, and Sex Education.
To possess such reflective wisdom at a young age is rare. To echo all the anguish, fear, and self-belief to overcome into a record is nothing short of astonishing, and so is Wyn!
