Review: Tonight Alive - How Does It Feel? (Single)

image

Australian quintet Tonight Alive have released the latest single off their upcoming album. Titled “How Does It Feel?”, the song starts off with some solo, high-tempo guitar riffs until about five seconds in, when a medium-to-fast pace drumbeat kicks in, followed by backing vocals from vocalist Jenna McDougall.

Lyrically, this song holds the emotions of feeling trapped in a possible relationship - or friendship - because the other person thinks they’re always right and won’t listen to anyone else, while wanting everything to go their own way. This is shown in the lyrics “How does it feel? / How can you say? / That I’m the only one / You only want your way.”

Review: Sollus - The Lights (Single)

image

“The Lights” is the debut single from British music producer and artist, SOLLUS. Real name Harrison Brown, SOLLUS is a solo project that melds light, electronic ambience with an indie sound that creates something that’s outside the box - something completely unique. “The Lights” is the world’s introduction to this new and refreshing sound, and is also a look into what Brown’s upcoming EP will possibly deliver.

Starting out with an ambient and light sound - one reminiscent of the type of music you’d hear during films from the 1950s or 1960s - “The Lights” builds into keyboard and electronic combinations that blend together seamlessly. About a minute into the track, listeners are introduced to Caralis vocalist Dan Frau, who provides vocals. Frau and Brown’s partnership goes back to Caralis’ beginnings and the pair’s friendship shows in “The Lights”, with Frau’s ambient and soft vocals melding with Brown’s instrumentation almost effortlessly. They stand out just enough to be heard, but not too much as to override the backing track. The addition of backing vocals during the chorus is also a noticeable feature, creating a subtle but strong aspect to the track. The track continues in the same way as the minutes pass before returning listeners to the old-timey sound they were introduced with, bringing things full circle.
