Justin Sullivan conveys the sad-hearted romance of a classic crooner on "The One I Love." But Sullivan, who goes by the collaborative project Night Shop, doesn’t just create a pastiche of a golden era of pop. His recondite references to empty convenience stores and writers like John Keats mingle with his cool and troublemaker character, a statement that resonates with the song’s swinging, rootsy arrangement. And yet, all he wants is for his object of affection to give him a chance as he gallivants on a lively night around the city.
"The One I Love" is the latest single off of Sullivan’s upcoming full-length effort In The Break, which will be released via longtime bandmate Kevin Morby’s label Mare Records. Juan Rodríguez
