Never Alone by Baron’s: Album Review

“Never Alone” is an astounding album by Baron’s, who make music pertaining to the spectrum of alternative rock/pop. There’s an immense diversity present in this album, as evident from vibrant guitars and thunderous drumming. And, within the heart of each song lies a gripping singer who forms each track’s cadence.

Exploring each song from Baron’s album was exciting to the very core. Their alternative rock numbers “Cannibalism” and “D-Day” elated me, especially the D-Day’s funky bass verses. The rhythm is formed by guitar riffs that have a solid distortion tone. It doesn’t have too much gain, which is ideal for not overshadowing the vocals. Also, give that drummer a medal, they did a terrific job in maintaining the tempo through each transition! The album’s more serene pop outfit comes alive in “Free Hands” and Last Song for You.” The first one has a soothing guitar progression combined with sweet vocals. As for the second, I was completely blown away by the addition of flamenco music. Silky-smooth Latin guitar bits grace the track, all the while trap beats and a melodic synth tag along.

The folksy aura of “Doesn’t Really Matter” had a powerful vibe attached to it. Especially with the inclusion of the piano and flute, which had a truly stellar tone! The final number of Baron’s melodic journey is entitled “Tried”, where we return to the act’s gritty rock aura. It’s a fitting conclusion with anthemic vocals and heated guitars, which caused an inferno of sound.
