Softly finger-picked folk-pop, a light layer of reverb, warm and distinct vocals – Bryan Copeland follows short lines of intimate poetry, for his soothing to brilliantly uplifting original single Hello.
From familiar, comforting beginnings, Hello is notably quick to redirect things, adding a near euphoric peak for this Gospel-like shift to a choir of beautifully united voices. The song’s energy changes in an instant, the longing and uncertainty elevated to become a boldness of declaration. We move from simple folk to something much more anthemic and even arena-ready in its beauty and presence.
The second time this shift takes place, the music follows suit – a more full Americana arrangement of humble rhythms, strings, keys and guitars, all reinforcing the subtle but mighty rise of the voices.
Represented by Young Outlaw Music ( YOM), with distribution through Virgin-UMG, Bryan Copeland is a clear gem of a songwriter and musician, breaking through the noise of the scene with purpose, depth and delicacy, all blissfully intertwined. Hello is a sublime listen, a comforting and impassioned set-up and performance, connecting for both its recognisable initial traits, and the ultimate originality and warmth of what comes afterwards.
Single out April 15th. Find Bryan Copeland on Facebook & Instagram.
