Newcastle
based, Indie/Alt band Deep.Sleep’s new single Soho was given to me
specifically to review and I’m very glad that I got given it. After this band’s
name had being floating around within social media and my friendship group for
while, I was happy to finally properly listen to one of their songs. I was not
sure what to expect from this band but what I heard when I first pressed play
made me very hopeful of the talent that these lads have.
The
song starts with the music slowly growing louder and louder which I found was a
really good way of starting the song as I’ve not heard as many bands do this
recently. When the vocals first hit you with no instrumental backing, after a
quick intro, you hear this quite rough and deep voice; I fell in love with his
voice instantly. The way that Deep.Sleep did the first minute of the song
really impressed me, as it feels really precise and well thought-out to slowly
entice the listening into the song and trapping them within the uplifting beat.
When
listening to the song you completely zone out from the rest of the world and
just move along to the incredibly catchy beat and just enjoy the soothing sound
of the vocals. I think that this song needs to be on everyone’s summer playlist
as I imagine it being played in the heat and sun with everyone moving along to
it. It is a song that will get stuck in your head extremely easily as soon as
soon as you listen to it once you will want to listen to it multiple times in a
row.
I
personally think this song is really well written and thought-out; it is clear
that a lot of hard work went into writing and producing the song. The well timed
pauses in the instruments playing so the vocals are just playing really brings
the song together and highlights the incredible vocals. For me, the vocals are
my favorite part of this song as his voice really suits the song and is such an
easy song to listen to at any time in the day.
This
song will definitely be joining many of my playlists straight away and everyone
else should add it to theirs too as it is just such an easy to listen to song
at anytime, in any location. I find these lads extremely talented and will be
keeping an eye out for anymore of their future work.
