โThe American Villainโ by Rusty Reid serves as a potent protest song and a scathing social commentary. The song echoes the artistโs disdain for the political climate in the United States. The song, a remix of the 2020 original, is a part of Reidโs continued artistic expression, delving into the ramifications of political decisions and societal upheaval.
From the outset of โThe American Villain,โ thumping drums ground the song and provide a rhythmic foundation that persists throughout. The jamming guitar tunes contribute a shimmering quality to the overall sound, enhancing the songโs emotive and evocative nature. Rusty Reidโs vocals, delivered with sincerity and a deliberate pace, carry the weight of the lyrics. With his emotive performance, he delves into the losses America has faced under what the artist perceives as misguided administrations.
The collaborative effort shines through, with Daniel Ribeiro, Jack Williams, and Brandon Davis each bringing their musical prowess to the mix. Ribeiroโs guitars and keyboards add depth to the sonic landscape, Williamsโ bass provides a steady undertone, and Davisโ drums drive the song forward with an energy that complements the overall mood.
The release of this remix underscores the urgency Reid feels to address persistent issues and, as he puts it, to prevent the destructive influence of the โAmerican Villainโ and others like them.
Listen to โThe American Villainโ by Rusty Reid and note how he uses music as a tool for social change. And do check out the YouTube video that features the original 2020 mix.
