Actve Captveโs latest single, โSafe N Sound,โ found us dance music in a grind with hard rock. Disco grooves pump through and contemporary dance beats swirl and sway to the rhythm that pulses through our veins and reinvigorates us. The hard-hitting drumming anchors the danceable energy. The distinct rock vibe is undeniably contagious to the composition. The guitars embark on a journey, starting with drifting melodic patterns that seamlessly evolve into driving, distorted layers, each note contributing to the dynamic arrangement.
Over this vibrant instrumental canvas, the reverbed vocals of frontman Justin emerge, sounding both ethereal and vulnerable. His impassioned delivery brings forth the emotional core of the lyrics, which explore the theme of grieving over a lost lover. The juxtaposition of lively instrumentals with heartfelt lyricism adds depth to the listening experience, creating a compelling contrast that resonates with us.
โSafe N Soundโ might be one of the best of Actve Captveโs musicality. But it is also a gateway to their debut EP, Saudaze. Actve Captveโs artistic finesse shines through, making โSafe N Soundโ a noteworthy chapter within the broader narrative of their debut release. As the penultimate track in the EP, it acts as a tantalizing preview of the bandโs expressive range and storytelling prowess.
So what are you waiting for? Keep getting pumped up for the day and through the night with the auditory journey laid out in โSafe N Soundโ and await the release of Saudaze.
