The #1 rated electro-alt rock project helmed by Matt Soren, The One Tonic now goes behind the earnest desire to redeem oneself in their latest single, “Make Me Whole.”
From the moment the song begins, you’re drawn in by chiming guitars and smacking drums, creating a pop hook that immediately grabs your attention. The guitar riffs build underneath, with the chords pulsing and tugging at our heartstrings while the drums tap like pelleting raindrops on hard metal.
It’s Soren’s voice that truly steals the show, drenched in vulnerability and defeat as he pours his heart out. The lyrics cut deep, exploring themes of regret, self-doubt, and the constant struggle to find salvation.
As Soren keeps singing, his tone becomes more and more agonizing and emotional. It almost feels like he is on the brink of tears as he sings, “Got nothing left in me.” The line, “Feel my heart suffocating” hit particularly hard, echoing the universal experience of feeling lost and broken after spending their lives chasing “Insatiable highs.” But amidst the darkness, there’s a glimmer of hope. His voice soars with desperation and sincerity as he pleads for wholeness and redemption on his knees.
“Make Me Whole” is the kind of song that is on an Imagine Dragons level, but The One Tonic gives it life and distinction with its own voice and production. Listen to “Make Me Whole” to let the transformative power of music heal you.
