Taking things back to the bare essentials now – a refreshing moment of quiet acoustic reflection. American songwriter Tommy Curtis delivers the intimacy of finger-picked guitar and a softly raspy, evocative voice, to guide us into the poetic and personal gratitude and contemplation of Steady Now.
Far from confined to these opening elements, Steady Now welcomes a modest evolution in soundscape – subtle layers of piano and rhythm, bass and electric guitar, as we roll smoothly through these images and scenes. Always we resolve to this non-intrusive, again humble but effective hook and title.
Presenting with a kind of old-school folk-pop vibe, loving lyrics and a clever central concept, Steady Now feels like something inspired by the TV soundtracks of a simpler era. In short though, it’s a pleasure to lose yourself within the appreciation and dedication of this romantic experience, and the delicacy and heart with which Tommy Curtis performs, makes the whole thing a sheer pleasure and emotional venture to dive into.
