Big Bus Dream have arranged the single beautifully here, a softly jazz-kissed ambiance of organic layers – double bass, hand drums, subtle vocal whispers and warmth.
It suggests uncertainty, reinforcing the mood and lyrics of the surrounding song, and this uncertainty is what makes the whole thing connect so beautifully.
In a way, this entire song feels like a freestyle sort of diary-like outpouring. Fast-paced lyrics contrast minimal moments and the two work in unison to promise a deeply open, genuine account of infatuation.
Completing the album in a fairly perfect way, Dear Future Me tracks a life from start to finish, through the decades, painting a picture that warms the heart and even brings a tear to the eye.
Providing a timeless narrative for contemporary fans, Emily Clair’s country anthem Drive Me Home leads with love, intimacy, and a passion for the good times – and it proves an uplifting new hit.
Brandon Riley fearlessly blends genres and keeps things refreshingly creative throughout this captivating new single.
Indie songwriter Gliffo returns with another classic pop-rock anthem, this time designed and dedicated to inspiring a sense of self-optimism and empowerment.
There’s contemplation at the heart of the writing, humanity and uncertainty, along with a musical freedom and familiarity united that works well to connect and inspire listeners.
Conceptually poignant and musically intense – as per the character at its core – Mandi Crimmins unites effective song-writing with refreshingly rock-infused musicalities and cleverly captivating visuals for this new release.
Benjamin Andrews revels in the moment beautifully, and this gives the song the authenticity it needs to really move an audience.
Sweet Imperfections take on the topic of love and oneness in a musically classic yet conceptually refreshing way.
