Beautiful songwriting and a timeless arena pop-rock set-up that’s instantly energising – The UK’s own Josh Moncrieff captures a melodic and impassioned beating heart, for his brand new single Into The Blue.
Featuring an explosive but uplifting opening set-up, the live band aspect and these hopeful chords proving quick to set an optimistic summertime mood, Into The Blue then weaves in notably short verse lines – a simple audio aesthetic, which leads us towards a longer-form resolve later on. The effect of this is huge, a relatable, easy to vibe to introduction, carving out a lasting embrace for the more complex ideas and outbursts of later.
In essence, Josh Moncrieff grabs attention with familiarity, then adds in plenty of his own sense of poetic storytelling and emotion along the way – smoothly elevating Into The Blue from a nostalgic pop-rock hit to a new level of originality.
Brilliantly celebratory but conceptually provocative and powerful, Into The Blue reads like a poetic diary entry, and connects for its clear sense of melody, groove, passion, and purpose. It’s a mighty gateway single into all things Josh Moncrieff, a highlight anthem from this season so far, and a fine indication of a live solo act well worth knowing about this year.
