VIDEO FEATURE: Ghosts – Some Velvet Morning

Published

on

 

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one…

Some Velvet Morning have debuted the video for their 2021 single Ghosts. The band have announced that this is the first in a series of 3 video drops from the album, releasing weekly, to celebrate the new Vinyl launch of their album Rough Seas.

Like the track itself, the video for Ghosts is stripped back and boasts a confidently withheld style. Some Velvet Morning let the track itself take centre stage, opting to perform in a stylishly reserved environment. Warm lights wrap around the black-clad group as they conjure an immense swell, all from their simple environment.

Ghosts itself demonstrates the reasons why Some Velvet Morning have garnered the genre-crossing fan base they have. There’s an element of a country music spirit to Ghosts that mix with the group’s signature modern pop-rock sound. Perhaps the song’s most powerful trait though is (for lack of a better word) its hype!

The single maintains a delicate balance of confidently withheld soundscapes, with a rousing through line throughout built by whoops, hand claps, and guitar. There’s shades of The Chain but contextualized in a modern pop style.

It’s strange to think of it as a newer release as it feels like a classic already. My gut instinct is that you could play this down the pub and everyone would join in. It’s easy to see how Ghosts could become the next big sports anthem and its video provides the perfect opportunity to revisit it.

REVIEW: Teddy Serkin – ‘Trying To Live’

Published

By

Hey readers of Brit hits I hope you’re enjoying the sunshine and I’m about to make your day ten times better with some great new music from Teddy Serkin as he has just released his stellar new single ‘Trying to Live’ and trust me when I say this one’s a guaranteed hit. 

‘Trying to Live’ It’s a heartfelt single but this doesn’t take away from Teddy’s rockstar attitude and incredible delivery of the song. You can really feel the passion that lies behind every line that he is singing, using his talent to add feeling and rawness at the perfect moments.   

This is the kind of single that you can’t help but imagine how well it would go down in a live setting. I can hear Teddy’s vocals that he would put on one brilliant show. What makes this song a stand out single is a delivery oozing with swagger before an incredibly catchy chorus adds an added  development to a song that may have passed as simple rock filler without it.  

Teddy’s vocal delivery, which has morphed into that of a crooner in a sleazy New York dive bar, accompanies you through whatever crazy picture the song plants into your brain.

Don’t take my word for it, be sure to check out ‘Trying to Live’ by the wonderful Teddy Serkin, out now!

Do I

FLYNT are bringing their full force of creativity on new single ‘Do I’

Published

’Do I’ is unlike any sound of the indie pop genre and I know that you’ll agree with me, readers of Brit Hits. With indie, pop and electric undertones, a melodic guitar finish and emotionally resonating lyrics that speak of heartbreak there is certainly something for everyone in FLYNT’s music. 

The unique way FLYNT mixes sounds and words is highlighted in ‘Do I’ The rhyming scheme and vocal emphasis on the last word of each line create the rhythm of the melody. Sonically they are building a circular beat to the song using words that quickly become addictive and catchy. I’ve had it stuck in my head all day!

As much as ‘Do I’ is easy listening with incredibly addictive sounds the underlying theme to this single is heartbreak. – ​​”We basically are obsessed with heartbreak. We love wondering why and how things end up in such a bad way. We get a kick out of writing songs that sound energetic and happy… but really, really aren’t.”

FLYNT have definitely delivered us with a masterpiece of an array of sounds and genres that they have moulded together harmoniously. Although they are only starting out, ‘Do I’ has set a high standard for all their future work, and their futuristic indie chill tracks promise to strike a chord with listeners.

‘Do I’ by FLYNT is out now on all streaming platforms

Published

Singer, songwriter Michael Tinholme, has recently released his new single ‘I Don’t Want to Cry for You Anymore’ and listeners could not be more excited. The veteran musician brings various influences and styles to create this surreal, malleable sound.

Michael uses his lyrics and a unique style to create music to impress and please so many; with a foundational genre of rock, he adds various layers of sound from the jazz genre as well as more prog rock to produce a distinctive, immersive sound of which he incorporates the lyricism of the piece effortlessly.

‘I Don’t Want to Cry for You Anymore’ kicks off with an incredibly moving, melodic guitar riff, elongating the last note in order to invent an atmosphere of peacefulness. An acoustic piano allows the listeners to be transformed further into a world of fixation and vulnerability – it is unexpected and presents listeners with the perfect gateway to the harmonic noise of the rest of the song.

This new single exceeds even the highest expectations in its clever lyricism and use of instrumentals. All there is to do now and sit back and play the exceptional track on repeat and eagerly await more music from this amazing artist.
