Hypnotized From Bill Godfrey Takes Listeners On An Intimate Listen

29 Sep

Bill Godfrey’s EP Hypnotized carries the listener on a musical trip. From the start of the EP to the end, Godfrey’s instrumentals are a unique mixture of Indie pop and electronica. For Hypnotized to be the debut album from Godfrey, it sounds sophisticated and well developed. A standout track on the EP titled Perfect Place encompasses rhythm, soul, and flow. With lyrics such as “you’re what makes home a perfect place” and cozy instrumentals, a feel good combination emerges. The other songs on the album transcend from one mood shift to another. Godfrey is very intentional with creating a musical environment and invites the listener in, almost on a level of one to one intimacy. Sounds of the guitar and drums sprinkled in on other songs shapeshift into different feelings and musical textures as well. For a debut album, Hypnotized pulls in listeners like an ocean tide and an embrace of a hug all at once.

Nothing’s Wrong Showcases Elza’s Enchanting Vocal Style

13 Oct

Close your eyes and be prepared to be taken away by Elza’s voice in her album Nothing’s Wrong. For those who enjoy listening to storytelling through music, specifically from female vocalists, add Elza to the list. Comparably speaking of vocalists in reference such as Feist, Florence Welch, and Alison Sudol, she finds a way to reflect and story tell within her music and take her listeners on the journey. Throughout the album, it waves between power ballads, marked by the heavy synth and drums and the softness of simple vocals and light instrumentals. Listeners will be surprised that her sound is pleasantly moody, leaving room for unexpected themes and vibes on the album. A standout track on the album, Swayed best exemplifies this auditory observation. It mixes a level of raw and rebel vibes in all the right ways. Everything is right about the words that make up this album and the voice and music that make it all possible.
