From the USA, singer-songwriter Hayden Everett has just released the sentimental track, “See You Soon.”
“See You Soon” opens to a relaxed drum groove that breezily propels us through the arrangement. Filling out the composition are some lush guitar layers that have a great sense of texture. The opening guitar has a muted, slightly gritty tone as it locks us into the track’s groove. As the song progresses, a cleaner, mellower rhythm guitar enhances the mood with opened-stringed tones. Splashes of shimmering lead are added in places for depth and texture, helping to further flesh out the track.
Bass is used sparingly to convey a sentimental and thoughtful foundation. As we enter the chorus sections, the bass gains a sense of tremendous depth, helping to grow the track’s dynamics and give a feeling of intensity. The percussive groove also pleasingly fills out here, allowing further contrast from the verses.
Everett’s vocal exudes a sense of gentle passion throughout the song as it guides us on this journey of love and longing. The performance effortlessly reaches falsetto tones, which wonderfully punctuate the emotional depth of the tune.
“See You Soon” is a wonderful storytelling track that has a wondrous sense of melancholy. Exploring themes of love and yearning, this heartfelt song is one that needs to be heard.
