Swedish indie folk and country pop band Portraits & Tales is ready to hit the road with their latest single, “Leave it All Behind.” This infectious track, with pure wanderlust, is guaranteed to get your feet tapping and your heart yearning for adventure.
From the opening notes, “Leave it All Behind” oozes with rustic charm. Catchy country grooves propel the song forward, driven by strumming guitars and a thumping backbeat. The lead singer steps up to the mic, her voice is deep, husky, and undeniably captivating. She renders her lyrics with an infectious, but relaxing and meditative drawling enthusiasm. As the drums pump and the cymbals clash, she delivers each word with a steadiness in her voice, letting us immerse ourselves in her spirit.
The bridge is where things get electrifying. A searing guitar solo drives in and pulls us on the road with its chords bending and twisting with the thrill of the unknown. This instrumental break perfectly captures the adrenaline rush of leaving everything behind and chasing your dreams. After the solo, the singer’s voice returns, sharper and more gritty, dynamizing the track with a subtle sneer.
“Leave it All Behind” urges us to shed our burdens, silence our doubts, and chase the horizon. If you have ever desired to escape the ordinary and live life on your own terms, then listen to Portraits & Tales’ latest single, out since 24 May, 2024.
