FEATURED RELEASE
Our featured album, ‘Bad Choices Make Good Stories’ by Harosho, is out now and available to stream on all major streaming platforms! The album consists of ten tracks and lasts around thirty-three minutes.
The opening track on the album, ‘Don't lose yourself’, lasts two minutes and thirty-four seconds and sits at a steady 88bpm. The track commences with a ten second introduction that features a foundational piano progression which sets the tone for the proceeding verse. The vocal color is clean and emotive; seamlessly synchronising with the instrumental accompaniment.
The subtle implementation of harmonised vocals, check out 0:42 to 0:52, adds a depth to the overall sound without detracting from the prominence of the main melody. The combination of the smooth strings, creatively affected vocalisations, steady percussive beat and memorable piano line form a hook that will definitely have you humming along by the time this track draws to a close; ensuring that you immediately hit that repeat button for another listen.
Although the album is technically grouped under one genre classification, each track delivers a diverse range of compositional elements that showcase Harosho’s songwriting talent; from the smooth percussive beat and ambient keys that provide the perfect platform for the emotive vocal performance in ‘Mockingbird’, the phased synth that delivers just the right amount of dynamic diversity when compared with the atmospheric solo piano/vocal verses of ‘Just a little bit’, to the catchy hook that features stylistic instrumental layering that forms an immersive experience in ‘Whisper’.
From the well balanced production and creative compositional arrangements, to the impressive featured vocals and catchy hooks, fans of Harosho, as well as those who appreciate new and creative music, will definitely want to hear this album.
