KOSMONAUTS | Stay | Single Review

     After what feels like forever, this incredibly talented band have released another single Stay to their adoring fans. I have been following this song for months and have heard it in its most raw form and then seen it build up over time. KOSMONAUTS have worked so hard that is clear to see in the quality of song, each layer has been careful planned and rehearsed until its reached its highest level of quality.



     ‘Stay’ starts with a quick build up and then goes straight into the instrumentation and lyrics. The beat of the drums is the most prominent instrument behind the lyrics. Once again, KOSMONAUTS have produced some outstanding lyrics, they are so catchy that you will be singing them all day. The guitar coming in later in the song adds the needed contrast to the drums and bass guitar to lift the song even further.

     When the chorus kicks in, this is when the song reaches its best. The combination of each instrument causes a really loud and impactful chorus that almost forces you to smile at the level of talent that is shown off. After the big build up of the chorus, the tempo of the song slows down and the instruments soften down to match the slightly more soft lyrics. The vocals are really highlighted in this softer section of the song, Rob really shows off the range in his voice. My favourite part of the song is at 1:44 when he heightens his voice, I can’t help but smile when I hear it.


     The song then picks up-tempo once again but instead of slowing down they go into a very strong and impactful instrumental with slight harmonies, which would be incredible when performed live. It then slows down completely again, with the lyrics slightly muted in the background with the guitar being the most prominent instrument. Once again it then picks up-tempo to the really powerful sections of the song. Then to end the song they slowly drop the tempo and each instrument gets more muted until there is no sound at all. 


     I am extremely proud of these lads, as this song has turned out to be incredible and has been a complete hit with all of their fans as it got over 1000 streams in just over 24 hours. I know there is a lot more that these lads have to release and if they work as hard on them as they did with this song then they will gain so much love and admiration from so many people. I’m very excited for their next releases as they have so much talent that is still to be shown off. I know without a doubt that these lads are growing rapidly and will continue to grow in this industry as they have so much talent and potentially to grow big.
