From the full-length album ‘On the Run’: Canvass The Town’s new single ‘Jeep Beach’

Posted on 2 May 2020

You can get a real taste of the psychedelic 60’s era with Canvass The Town’s single ‘Jeep Beach’ from the full-length album ‘On the Run’.

What at first may sound like another indie production, ‘Jeep Beach’ entails colourful and rich harmonies that will make you appreciate that “surf rock” kind of positive vibe The Beach Boys mastered back in the day. With clean guitars leading into an overlay of vocals and backing vocals, ‘Jeep Beach’ gets more psych-pop in the middle section with more guitar lines enriching the arrangement, creating a surprising melodic duality of vintage and contemporary.

The song is crayoned by emotional and descriptive lyrics that depict moments that make you visualise and almost experience some degree of freedom (as I interpreted it) by singing “stay there till you freeze / never have to leave/no one there to see / sure sounds good to me.”

The band not only ‘Canvass The Town’ but also canvass the latest indie scene.

The Melissa June Band has dropped Your Name

Posted on 28 April 2020

The Melissa June Band has dropped their latest single ‘Your Name’ combining their country sound into this uplifting and intriguing piece.

Starting off with the calming sound of the violin that illuminates the background and adding in the fast pace strum on the acoustic guitar as the vocals begin to seep through. The vocal ranges are incredible and the high notes are hit perfectly, nothing is out of the tune and it all combines together in such an impressive way.

Tending to reach more for the high-pitched vocal throughout, having that melodic sound to it with the soft texture that is added, flowing in and out of the classic country instrumentation to create this enjoyable and interesting to listen to piece.

Ria Carval has dropped her single Reflections: A powerful piece with incredible vocals

Posted on 23 April 2020

Artist Ria Carval has dropped her Pop infused single ‘Reflections’. Through her mesmerising vocals and meaningful lyrics to create this infectious track.

Starting off with a techno style vocal leading into the soft melodic tone that Ria has. Portraying a fairly synthesized sound through parts of the song. The vocal ranges are incredible as she hits the high notes so effortlessly and pure emotion tends to pour through each word that is sung, in a rather mesmerising way.

The beat is more on the simpler side, having that upbeat melody that seeps through the rest of the elements, using a variety of effects to create the overall rhythm and as the vocal pitch picks up the instrumentation gets more powerful and loud as the sound of piano keys fills the air.

Through the lyrics and impressive vocal ranges as well as the way it combines with the rhythm is why this song is such a hit in itself, through the story that is told through the words and the way she lets feelings come through her voice in such a compelling way.
