The second time you hear that hook it seals the deal, becoming that anthem, that melodic peak that expresses the frustration & fear otherwise ignored.
Songwriter
Sometimes when writing a song you don’t know what it’s about until it tells you. Often I come away & think, ‘Wow, that was actually what was being said?’.
An incredibly talented songwriter donating EP proceeds this October to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to help others suffering with childhood cancer.
What I experienced in early life & up until now does put things in perspective. I use these experiences to write the most passionate & powerful music I can.
The creative progression throughout is fantastic, the brightness of the music contrasts cleverly with the mellow & somewhat melancholy vocal performance.
Sometimes a good song is all that’s needed; nothing fancy or over the top to enhance the ideas – just the song, and a performance that means something.
The soulful smoothness of any seductive R&B classic. Connects on a deep & intimate level, as well providing those essential good vibes we rely on music for.
The sound is big, leaning partly towards the distorted world of indie rock, partly towards a more electronic, even reggae influenced edge.
Every element assists the music & emotion as they evolve. The voice rises in passion, the instrumentation intensifies, the lyrics become upfront & direct.
The simplicity works really well, the production has a retro crackle about it that assists in building those classic vibes & the melody hits with impact.
The strength of this uniting of elements drives the song. The hook lingers in your mind long after listening & there’s a definite sense of character.
Fusing a thick & distorted musical backdrop with an exotic, delicately powerful leading vocal melody, the song surrounds you in atmospheric ambiance.
