Chris Ising brings the weight and soul required to kick off the year with this gritty yet melodic new blues-rock hit Baptized.
Far from the purity implied by its title, the song kicks into gear with a heavy wash of fuzz on the guitar sound, and Chris’ ever-raspy rock vocal soon guides us through a story of intoxication and seeking escapism from regret and sin.
Things start off heavy and continue to grow, the hook bursting through with an addictive rock anthem of a switch, the music effectively following suit to fully embrace listeners in this live and soulful outpouring of personal reflection.
Striking a fine balance between that which is decidedly personal, and that which connects on a more vague and accessible level, Baptized makes for a genuine and relatable Americana offering – and a strong reminder of the rock energy and realness that Chris Ising brings to the scene.
