The Warming New Single And Video From Michael Eddy
The latest release from Michael Eddy brings out an anthemic folk rock feel with indie-pop flowing beneath the surface and it all comes through with a heavily cinematic vibe and it manages to touch on a sort of Americana tonality lyrically and musically at times, but it all has one thing that makes it amazing. Heart.
"Small Towns" is an instant classic if there ever was one and it bears such an influential and subtly driving approach that it's absolutely charming.
This single showcases this young artist's ability to not only write a song that can grab you and hold you where it wants to, but also to create something that has an electric and almost nostalgic undertone that makes it feel welcoming and warm.
The track is packed to the brim with soul and a pure love for his craft that bleeds through onto every single note.
This is incredibly infectious and leaves you feeling whisked away somewhere.
It's been a long time since a song gave me the feeling of being young with the sun hitting my face as it went down beyond a field at dusk. But this song does all that and more.
The nostalgic part comes from the musical fee but also those lyrics. People that actually come from small towns can absolutely relate in seconds flat and it makes memories come and go.
The song is like a soundtrack for a chapter or two in the lives of those from places like the ones Eddy talks about in this single.
This is the kind of thing we need right now.
Music that can really push the envelope ever so slightly but also give that warmth and lush vibe almost like you've been listening to this song on the radio for years.
The only thing even cooler than the song itself is the accompanying music video just released as it flows with gorgeous artwork and frame by frame changes that leave you a bit in awe.
It's visually enticing and alluring but also gives you a sense of Eddy's presence as an artist. And it's awesome.
Of course you don;t have to take our word for it. The video is below for your viewing pleasure.
