Phillip LaRue - “Never Break”
Nashville singer, songwriter, and producer Phillip LaRue has just released his new song, “Never Break,” and it is a stunner.
The song is built around a wonderfully recorded acoustic guitar., and its notes walking us slowly into a dreamy and ethereal masterpiece. The use of reverberated guitars creates a lush soundscape that perfectly complements the breathy vocals of LaRue, as he effortlessly reaches falsetto notes and expresses a great sense of unique soul. The vocals themselves are nothing short of mesmerizing, if honest– they brilliantly add an otherworldly quality to the track.
The song has a gentle and soothing quality that makes it perfect for relaxing or introspection and I love the space that the backing vocals create. The production is top-notch, allowing all the elements to come together seamlessly. Overall, this song is a must-listen for anyone who has taste. This is great work.
“Never Break” was inspired by his wife when she was missing her hometown on the central coast of California. LaRue tips his hat to the sadness she was feeling at the time and says: “It plays off the metaphor of waves. We’re making a wave together that never breaks.”
