Top quality musicianship and infectious good vibes – Eyþór Alexander and Flammeus get the chemistry just right, with the instantly uplifting Right By My Side.
Smooth but energetic all at once, this chaotic yet divine fusion of traits and layers presents the very best of organic, unplugged musicianship. it’s a captivating performance, first and foremost, with a sincere and seductive level of unity between all layers and musicians.
It’s the music that connects initially, a recording that genuinely takes you there – to the live setting of this arrangement and delivery; not a mere studio take soaked in effects and hidden by production details.
The song itself gathers intriguing momentum, meandering through a variety of different sections, almost feeling like a freestyle or adlib set-up on occasion. By the final quarter, however, the chorus and title resound and repeat accordingly, the big-band energy and all-together-now vocal choir reaching a superb crescendo, to help reinforce the loving sentiments at the heart of the songwriting.
A huge celebration both in topic and style, Eyþór Alexander & Flammeus put in a phenomenal performance here, and deliver a single that’s not only a timeless and creatively distinct gem, but a perfectly-placed, theatrical big-band release to warm up the colder seasons.
