Joh Chase - “Lucky Penny”
“Lucky Penny,” by Joh Chase, is a beautifully crafted song that captures the essence of relaxation and ease in a sound. It feels like summer at a beach. From the very beginning, the song invites you in with its gentle pulse and laid-back drums. The acoustic guitar adds a touch of warmth to the slow rocking melody, and the deep synth bass enhances groove.
As the song progresses, the electric guitar joins adding another texture. The unusual musical breaks are creative with the guitar noodling and mellotron-like sounds maintaining the melody. But it is Joh Chase’s vocal performance that truly steals the show. With a great dynamic range, Joh effortlessly glides through the song, hitting falsetto notes in all the right places. The vocals are both powerful and yet full of fun. Overall, “Lucky Penny” is a decent, traditional indie-pop song that ticks all the boxes of great music and catchy lyrics.
