Victor V. Gurbo – The Ballad of Renée Nicole Good
If you’re in the mood for a melodious, contemplative folk song, then Victor V Gurbo’s latest, ‘The Ballad of Renee Nicole Good’ is the song for you. The monotonal instrumentals with soft quivers and a deep ethos sets a very rustic frame. Through its soft musical silk, the artist’s baritones think along. The style and feeling will take you back to artists like Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, and the like. It is soothing yet haunting. With floating imagery of racism, violence and discrimination, the artist draws you into Renee’s inner world. An expressive guitar line, fleshed out with neoclassicals bring you to the edge, to the brim of the emotion. It is sentimental because it is made to remind the listener of their humanness. Soaked in the essence of life, society, and harmony, you’ll leave the listening experience with something important.
Danny McGuire – Friends ‘Til the End
Danny McGuire’s latest single, ‘Friends ‘Til the End’ opens this week’s Spring Folklore list. The track is buoyant, luminous, and full of bright sensibilities; all contained by its reflective atmosphere. Its indie rock flavor is softened by prolonged chords and dilated vocal sentiments. It forms slowly, shimmeringly, drawing the listener into its artistic power. Danny McGuire leans on simplicity to create this lingering evocative ambience. Resonant and reforming, its circular rhythm and romantic notions keep you going with it. The rustic tones and raw feel are meant to usher you back to the minimalistic aesthetic of the track. Just like that, you keep looping back into the infinity that the artist brings about in expressing the feel-good theme of the song. It’s a great acoustic rock piece for our list, especially because of the freshness.
Brandes – Love In Two Degrees
Brandes is a singer-songwriter and musician. For his new single, ‘Love in Two Degrees’, he creates a frame that he then explores with gliding chords and melodies. The patterns, vocal work and scenery is made with an exactness to create the thematic impression. Come chorus, it gains a little bit of an upward energy, a relative melodic surge that showcases the feeling underneath the veil. From the numbness of a heartache to the expression of it. The artist keeps journeying between these two spaces, creating a spectrum of them. The track gains a mellow, melodious ambience, going on a mild expanse in the second verse. This is where the second degree comes together. The healing, the true love and happiness that he encounters after it all. One that feels truly his. Meditating on the reality of cyclical changes that come into all our lives, he concludes the song on a hopeful note.
