“Do I Like Him (Or Is He Just Ignoring Me)” offers unique insight into modern casual dating. Once a casual fling begins, it is typical to not get too attached to the person you are seeing. But as time goes on, you may catch wandering gazes and want to spend more time with them. However, you still wonder if he sees you as the casual partner you two started out as or if his feelings have grown into something more than that. Every time you poke at him through frequent dates and communication, he doesn’t seem to respond like you hoped. It is almost like he is playing hard to get...but you keep trying. And trying. You begin to wonder if this feeling, him ignoring you and not taking this relationship as seriously as you are, is the true reality. One day you ask yourself the big question: “Do I Like Him (Or Is He Just Ignoring Me)”?
This newest single is a welcome integration of modern and old fashioned musical elements with a unique perspective of a modern situation. Grahn starts out this piece with ambient sounds and a simple, lazed beat in the background. It crescendos into a more upbeat melody that carries throughout the remainder of it. The chorus almost juxtaposes the previous tone, but the new addition of new instrumentation compliments it. But the highlight of this song is Grahn’s lovely vocal accompaniment. She stands out above all other elements of her single and makes sure you want to hear her voice just as much as the instrumentation and lyrics. Every note integrates perfectly with the lyrical style and story she is telling. It is easy to understand and believe every emotion she pours out through her lyrics. Every element intertwining together makes you want to learn more and more about this casual relationship!
