Funky soul-rock with a catchy rise and fall melody and energised vocals at the forefront – Gitarsong recaptures the simple fun of live music and songwriting, with the upbeat and likeable You Hit The Mark.
From the 2019 album Shine The Light, You Hit The Mark is an acoustic to full-band rock song with a unique twist of soul and a funky groove. The style is fairly timeless but also crisp and organic in a contemporary fashion, adding a sense of familiarity in its short lines and the build for the hook, but maintaining originality in the accessible vocal tone, the passion, and the satisfying resolve of the chorus.
Built around that unique pairing of the acoustic and electric guitars, You Hit The Mark is not only an earworm with an old-school presentation, but a rock song with a fearlessly extensive and welcomed guitar solo during its latter half.
The clue is in the name, Gitarsong making sure to utilise both aspects implied by that, and the soaring instrumental ode bridging the two halves is a huge example of the talent, passion, and precision the artist brings to the stage.
This album continues to embrace these qualities, while utilising more nostalgic traits in the warped synths and keys that help keep things creative as the playlist rolls along.
