Having further perfected his songwriting for an alluring fusion of evocative and anthemic, Bob Berdanier returns with a bang, on the cusp of launching an entire new EP of original songs.
His latest single Written In The Stars is an impassioned, catchy and heartfelt soul-rock single, with Bob’s iconic raspy vocals and guitar tone riding shotgun, alongside a timeless rock groove that’s impassioned and equally soulful.
Beginning with atmospheric paired guitars, we get the striking passion and intensity of a solo, and the simple, quieter repeats of a riff, followed by intimate verses; which feel both poetic and personal, in their relaying of meeting someone incomparable to anyone else.
As the song rolls along, momentum is quick and unquestionable – the hook pours into view with the instant weight of a full rock soundscape and title drop. Written In The Stars rings out to lay down this story of romantic longing and fate, and the dramatic old-school tumble of the drums after this moment, effectively tips its hat towards the likes of Bryan Adams, Bruce Springsteen, even Genesis, as the song continues to tighten its emotional grip.
A huge performance from Bob Berdanier, an instant classic that’s naturally an earworm but also non-intrusive in being so. This title is already well-used and familiar, but there’s something moving and alternative about Bob’s interpretation of it, and the melody that delivers it. The song is a feeling, well-crafted but a feeling non-the-less, and as such, it marks and immense and memorable introduction to the upcoming EP.
