In times of heavy division, uncertainty and widespread concern, the good vibes are essential for uniting us and allowing us those brief moments of escapism.
On that note, a newly signed artist to Bongo Boy Records – Melissa Reed delivers an intoxicating fusion of heavy electronic dance beats and soulful, empowering big-band vocals, for the upliting essence and cinematic charm of Little Gold Spark.
Stylistically unique in everything from the string solos to the spacious whispered verses and the hugely celebratory hook crescendos, Little Gold Spark is more of a massive gold spark, in terms of its sonic brightness and the absolute energy and bravado of Melissa’s faultless vocal range.
The track is performative in a kind of big-band, old school theatrical fashion, but the arrangement is neo-cinematic in its heavy bassline, beat and strings combination, and that approach feels distinctly original, yet also grounded in its relatable concept and the timeless resolve of the melody.
It’s a careful, conscious fusion of traits, and it works brilliantly in motivating, inspiring and awakening the positivity inside.
Single out everywhere July 17th. Find Melissa Reed through Bongo Boy Records.
