"The stars lean down to kiss you/And I lie awake and miss you," murmurs Minnesota MySpace sensation Adam Young on "Vanilla Twilight," a typically dreamy track from his major-label debut. Throughout Ocean Eyes, Young sets his breathy croon over gentle laptop beats and goes on about romance, the joy of spying fireflies and how he gets nervous going to the dentist. Often, Young sounds like a cuter version of the Postal Service. Love songs like "On the Wing" — a ballad with a plush, twinkling electro beat where the singer lies awake dreaming of his beloved — are serious mush, like an amorous e-mail you'll regret in the morning.
