Like Heaven Sent Ya

Gabriella Cohen “I Just Got So High”

“I Just Got So High” feels like a song fully destined to licensing ubiquity, a breezy and instantly appealing and vaguely familiar sorta-neo-soul tune that clearly expresses a powerful romantic feeling but with just enough tension to make it interesting. You could build an entire Netflix rom-com around it, it’s just so easy to visualize this as a montage maybe two or three narrative beats after the meet-cute. Gabriella Cohen sings it all with a flirty charm that feels effortless but also has some stagey contrivance to it, this full commitment to a heightened reality where somehow the whole world is doing great because this one lady has a crush.
