“Nothing’s For Certain” is a dreamy pop delight from Los Angeles-based duo veronicavon, comprising songwriters Chris Hackman (Human Barbie) and Xuan Nguyen (Xuan). The self-produced success emits a weightlessly melodic charm throughout. “Nothing’s for certain,” Nguyen sings amidst trickling guitars during the entrancing chorus, fully hypnotic and accommodating for daydreaming. Guitars and keys correspond beautifully during the “sometimes I wonder,” vocal bridge, driving seamlessly again into the blissful title-referencing hook. Aesthetically, I’m fondly reminded of Swedish act jj, with the lush pop entrancement and production smarts throughout.
