Under You

The debut track by brothers Jeff and David Mendelsohn has the same sort of whimsical flavor as a Sugar Ray or Smash Mouth hit (albeit more restrained), with its opening horn hook, sing-songy verses, highly melodic chorus, and refined pop/rock instrumental backdrop. The guys claim the lyric is about a buddy whose fiancée called off their wedding three days shy of the big day, and how she's missing out on something great, thus: "Well, I swear it wasn't fair, you left me there/But anywhere you are, I'll be under you." Trickside, whose members live together in New York City, deliver the message with an optimistic tone, making this perky number a natural for both the younger side of top 40's demo, as well as adult-leaning stations that find favor with the aforementioned groups. "Under You" is perfectly suited to our contemporary pop world, and it could do the trick to break Trickside. The track appears on the duo's debut album and on the On the Line soundtrack, as well as in the new romantic comedy Serendipity.—CT
