Hugely nostalgic and anthemic rock and roll vibes pour through for the brand new single from songwriter and artist Richie Trevino.
Featuring the additional talents of Rick del Castillo, Hello Houston is an upbeat earworm at its core – a timeless kind of Bruce Springsteen-inspired ode to the melodic and distorted passion of rock from a simpler era.
The song begins with its iconic title and hook, and proceeds to follow these perfectly accessible, mildly raspy but energetic vocals through a poetic story and scenes that aptly reinforce the driving presence of the Hello Houston.
Celebrating an impressive nine years of sobriety, Richie Trevino makes music for purely for enjoyment and the prospect of leaving something of worth behind in this world. Hello Houston marks a fine example of that approach, depicting a topical account of modern life in America, whilst utilising strong electric guitar riffs and a brilliant live drum-line.
Weave in a shorter listing fashion for the build up to the hook’s mighty resolve, and Hello Houston naturally feels at home with the all-together-now rock anthems of decades past. It’s a crisp and original take though, with a great title and hook that naturally linger in the mind once the music has ended. There’s even a fast-fingered guitar solo backing up the final uniting of voices, for that true and uplifting crescendo that begs for you to witness the track in the live setting.
