The German-born artist, Linus Linkenheil has consistently worked towards a distinctive sound that establishes musical maturity, fusing lyrical profound narratives with catchy melodies. Linus aims high with his latest single, ‘Come On Over’, which extends his pop-tinged sound design with resonating EDM flavors. The strong orchestral intro flows seamlessly into the heavenly opening verse, which marks the winning combination of poignant lyricism and emotive vocal delivery before the arrangement explodes into an upbeat hip-swaying rhythm.

The high-energy groove of ‘Come On Over’, makes use of a playful, flirty vibe, juxtaposed with sweet love-song desires, which the singer delivers with nuanced confidence. ‘Come On Over’ narrates a story that ties together love, self-reflection, and yearning, all while alternating between nostalgia and wide-eyed excitement.

As the drums effectively set the tone for a momentum-pushing background, the lyrics clearly states it’s case: “Come on over, come on over. I wanna get to know ya. Come on over, come on over.
