Damien Fairchild (For All the Girls) seems to be possessed of a fickle (or perhaps incredibly generous?) heart and a talent for writing and producing bite-sized, breezy pop songs. He is recording an album of songs “for the girls I am in love with or have loved at one point in time.” The album will be released next Valentine’s Day, which is also his birthday.
His 14th birthday.
So while I try not to be overcome with envy at the idea of this young man who has apparently had leagues more experience in both love and music than I had at his age (13? I had my share of crushes, but the word “love” evaded me until well into high school. I had pretty well mastered a squeaky saxophone rendition of “Eleanor Rigby,” though.), I hope you will enjoy this sweet, summery video for the sweet, summery song “Phylicia.” (Phylicia, I hope you’re not too jealous of Amrit, or any of the others coming down the pike.)
