A band who seemed poised on the cusp of super-stardom before things fell apart in the late 1970’s – they sound invigorated by another turn at getting their music out there.
Toronto--Canada
The track erupts into the room in the way that any well-crafted, pristinely built dance track should – the beat is complex yet appears smoothly.
Rakel’s voice is the star of this song, and for good reason; it’s absolutely mesmerizing. She sings in a way that feels so raw & natural & that is entirely unique to her.
There are some extremely distinctive threads throughout J. Hunter’s songs – his writing style is incredibly poetic, observational, and reflective, and his voice has a familiarity that drives the whole collection with a comforting touch of character.
This album manages to feel short & quite epic in proportions at the very same time. Across The Board put out new music & creative content as often as possible & there’s no question as to how mighty this level of experience allows their sound to be.
Creatively the music on the project varies distinctly as N0va has collaborated with a number of different producers to build the project, however, there is a definite overall mood that keeps things relevant & easy to escape into.
The immediate rhythm & bounce is infectious & uplifting in the best possible way. Bryn Scott Grimes offers plenty in the way of creativity & musicianship, but nothing in the way of predictability.
Suggesting or hinting at the concept of freedom within art or music is very different to entirely encapsulating it. ‘Free’ is the absolute perfect example of a song embracing entirely the concept at its core & successfully passing that feeling on to its audience.
It takes courage, openness & self-awareness to share how you feel with people. Be confident with yourself & okay with having some of your ideas turned down.
What emerges as a soft natured ballad with a gentle jazz backdrop, soon erupts into a funk & soul driven escapade – complete with a sensational sax solo.
Lyrics you’ve heard nothing like, a musical structure & performance style free from the confines of genre, and a phenomenally hypnotic presence of passion.
Falling is a track that sounds like any strong & smooth pop song should, yet the artist brings a brand new energy and positivity to the scene.
