Robin Ross and vocalist JoEllen Gaetani wrote and performed the track, leading to a pleasant as well as engaging musical partnership. The song begins with acoustic guitar,\u00a0providing an air of nostalgia based on 1960s folk traditions. As the vocals starts, the track experiences a very throwback vibe, with obvious influences from The Beatles and The Mamas &amp; Papas. The male\/female vocal interaction gives the song a dynamic and uplifting character, turning it into a funky, vibrant duet that sounds classic. The lyrics concentrate around themes of freedom, love, and discovering yourself. Lines like &#8220;All I want is a lover \/ To be free&#8221; and &#8220;Free as an atom tonight \/ Free to do whatever I like&#8221; support a sense of freedom and spiritual openness. The repeated use of these concepts gives the song an almost mystical character, enhancing its upbeat and feel-good vibe. The production (audio mix)\u00a0is precise and balanced, allowing each element, acoustic instrumentation, vocals, and\u00a0groove, to work together peacefully. The final outcome is a modern\u00a0and warm\u00a0sound that combines the spirit of traditional flower-pop with a contemporary sense of purity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"All I Want (is a lover) by Robin Ross &amp; JoEllen Gaetani\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KNgKeu5BD3I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">photo by Jerry Reganess<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/robinrossmusic.com\">https:\/\/robinrossmusic.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/robinross.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/robinross.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100063551050142\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100063551050142<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;All I Want (Is A Lover)&#8221; was recorded at Baa Baa Leaf Music Studio in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30092,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[226,5014,5015,4927],"class_list":["post-30091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-classic-rock","tag-flower-pop","tag-hippie","tag-robin-ross-the-melodynes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30091"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30091\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30094,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30091\/revisions\/30094"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
