The song has managed to sound like a classic, nostalgic piece of music & writing, as well as being totally new, refreshing, and wonderful.
Singles
Billenholt’s voice has a fairly unique sound – it fits the tone of this alternative pop feel pretty flawlessly, but it also offers plenty in the way of personality, which lets you get a little closer to the artist as an individual.
Donny Doomsday’s approach to rap & hip hop in general is refreshingly real & unexpectedly humble. His confidence & skill are unquestionable, but you get a clear sense that this music has been made out of a sheer love for the art of it. For that reason, you want to listen.
Sweet Surrender offers a lot in the way of that big band, jazz-funk, almost Christmas joy style of musicality. A memorable, warm track – loaded with good vibes, soul, and a dash of rock & roll.
Their experience is undeniable, you can hear it in how the song has been crafted, the poetic lyricism, the build-up, the fluidity. They work as a unit & give the music so much strength & colour.
This is alternative pop at its greatest. It has all the building blocks of a memorable hit, but it also has so much character & so much that is unpredictable.
It’s a beautifully performed piece of music, but it comes with such a bittersweet wave of feelings – all in all proving to be about as relevant to the sadness behind it as possible.
Markson has certainly found meaning in art by magnificently blending classical piano & new age electronica to create an eclectic sound for easy listening across all walks of life.
Stew has done well to capture the sound of the moment with this, as well as not overwhelming his audience with weight or multiple layers of volume, colour & detail. The space & the simple beauty of it are likely to appeal for their originality & how easy they are to take on.
It feels like a totally natural progression for the band to take their music in this direction. The singer is fantastic, bringing the thick, powerful vocals of classic rock to a gentle & emotional soundscape.
Hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and endless hours in the studio are no doubt the unsung marks on Ms. Marie’s resume. The soul is apparent, the sound is impeccable, and Yona Marie is a master at the helm.
The simple & universal message of the song is beautifully conveyed: Live now, for you, because everyone dies. Calling on the sounds of 90’s & early ‘00s alternatives, Zhiaojiabang is the Senses Fail for the new generation.
