Earleybird drops wisdom and wordplay throughout. He celebrates the self consistently and encourages the listener to do the same – to love our own differences and everybody else’s.
The expression runs deep, not merely letting the lyrics tell the story, but letting every aspect of the performance scream it out to you.
There’s something softly emotional about his vocal tone & delivery, and this, walking in unison with the heartfelt & open nature of the lyrics, makes for something that feels very genuine & warming.
A mighty pop-rock album, a wonderful playlist that grows more and more enjoyable the further into it you get – and more so with each new listen afterwards.
His music brings together creatively ambient soundscapes and gritty, emotional hip hop, showcasing the artist’s depth of consideration and unique approach to artistry from the offset.
The whole thing feels like a live, in the moment, unedited outburst of expression & personal turmoil. As he wanders off creatively into his thoughts & into this moment, you can’t help but follow him.
Throughout this project you get a series of stories that appear close to the songwriter’s heart & experiences in life. It feels personal, but the details are accessible – even vague – so they can easily be applied to the lives of listeners far & wide.
It’s a powerful playlist in itself, in all honesty. The louder you listen, the more immersive the experience becomes. It’s authentic, heartfelt music to escape to.
You can’t predict anything on this project, Callison’s songs follow their own rules entirely. He’s a performer, not merely a singer. A live show is not something you’ll want to miss out on.
This album moves from good to great the further you get into it – this latter half increases your belief in that significantly. The second time you listen to these songs they hit with a whole new level of impact.
The new collection from Irish trio The Rising titled ‘Moving On’ perfectly blends upbeat numbers and and heartfelt, emotive tracks to create what is easily a contender for album of the year.
