Great style and songwriting unite beautifully for the dreamy shoe-gaze tone and vocal personality of BlvckBvrn.
As an introduction to the sound, Cross Eyed is both engagingly thoughtful and melodically catchy – a balance well-captured.
Featuring ethereal guitar lightly reverb-kissed, along with organic drums and a quiet overall finish, Cross Eyed connects with ease thanks to its riffs, melodies and modern lyrical stories and contemplations.
Vocally the sound proves quickly recognizable, this tired delivery emerging a little raw later on within the mix, but ultimately reinforcing these deeply human sentiments that are the lyrics and the underlying inspiration for the song.
Conceptually gritty, musically smooth and upbeat – contrast is mastered effectively throughout Cross Eyed. The whole thing manages to calm the mood of the room, whilst laying bare a refreshing artistic direction that will hopefully stand taller still as more new releases hit the scene.
