Jonny Corralitos gives Who Loves The Sun a relaxed, sun-drenched makeover that feels far removed from a straight revival of the original. The familiar melody floats over an easygoing groove, with warm bass, laid-back drums, keys and pedal steel adding plenty of colour around the acoustic guitar. The vocals have a slightly wistful character, while the harmonies and bright brass bring a playful lift that keeps the track moving. A surf-tinged guitar touch adds another layer to the arrangement, giving the whole thing an almost cinematic West Coast feel. It’s mellow without drifting, nostalgic without sounding overly reverent, and packed with those small instrumental details that make repeated listens worthwhile. Corralitos turns the song into an easy, breezy piece of summer psych-pop with just enough groove to keep the sun setting slowly.
