You have to hear it to know how it feels – words can’t really convey. This song has the alt-folk beauty and pop warmth of some of history’s classic, unpredictable hits. Something like Ben Howard’s Keep Your Head Up, an alt-folk legend lifting the mood; this time somehow both catchy and not. Calling For Change is soulful, to repeat that truth again. It’s yearning, mellow then emotionally desperate in its outcry, and the set-up furthers this, with modest guitar solo moments and a huge crescendo at the end.

Reflecting on modern intoxication and the search for truth, the value of using your voice when it matters, TODAY is complex and mysterious, but also manages to pierce through the noise with sharp and smart poetic lines. Everything then comes together beautifully, for what proves a genuinely inspiring chorus, and a sentiment and melody that linger in the mind, long after the music has ended.
Featuring a classic folk-country set-up, a full-band warmth with reverb-kissed slides and a raspy vocal character, Spirits & Springsteen is a perfectly crafted single, catchy and uplifting, but with just enough of a memorable conceptual twist to really hit the scene with impact.
