Acoustic guitar and humble keys back up tentative beginnings, as Irish songwriter and artist Isaac Butler delves into the comforting concept of sharing the same sky with those you miss; those who may be, in Isaac’s case, thousands of miles away.
The humble presentation soon finds its passion, the set-up feeling like a classic pop anthem of fully-loaded emotion and a catchy yet non-intrusive hook. Consider the dramatic drum hits, the synths and strings just quietly scattered around the outer layers. And in unison, Isaac’s own voice progresses from quietly contemplative, Passenger-like, to powerful and impassioned during those bigger drops to the hook.
Working its magic as both a timeless pop hit and indeed a clear acoustic contender – one that would no doubt connect beautifully in a stripped-back, unplugged live setting – Atmosphere marks a fine introduction to an established songwriter, with a clear talent and style of his own.
