When you press play on “Hawai’i Lover” by Marz Del Plata, you feel like you are reading Del Plata’s personal journal along with her. Del Plata’s moody and atmospheric production, blending with her alternative pop sensibilities creates a warm and safe space to unwind and imagine. “Hawai’i lover’s” minimalist production gives a carefree, clear, soft, and conversational vibe, almost reminiscent of “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega. But also it gives off this feeling that you are being given the privilege to soak into the mind of Del Plata, and see why she is feeling infatuated with her “Hawai’i Lover.” The nature themes in the lyrics create a snapshot of the adventurous moments that Del Plata experienced, and the listener is invited into a world feels both freeing, and magical.
