MODEL CITISIN soars to “The Highlife,” in his latest single, pumped with dynamic and anthemic rock n’ roll. Helmed by songwriter Nick Swettenham’s knack for crafting dynamic and uplifting music, “The Highlife” is a high-energy track that gets you relishing what it feels like to fulfill all your dreams.
From the opening notes, the song chases you down with an earful of storming guitars and beats tumbling underneath. Swettenham’s vocals enter hushed and float over the dreamy soundscape, drawing us into the world of the song before pulling us into his engaging and assertive verses. As the chorus kicks in with the anthemic line, “So take me to the Highlife,” the instrumentation swells with pumping horns and driving guitars getting us excited in the urgency.
“The Highlife” has Swettenham singing of making a getaway and seeking salvation and an exhilirating fulfillment in the pursuit of his dreams. The lyrics, delivered with a chasing urgency, convey a sense of determination and an enthralling anticipation, as Swettenham yearns for the freedom and satisfaction that comes with living life to the fullest.
What makes “The Highlife” even more special is the personal and familial connection and bonding woven into its creation. Swettenham’s brother Jamie contributes on drums, while his wife Amy lends her talents on trumpets and strings.
It turns out he has an entire legacy built off of music. Naturally, Swettenham continues to carry the torch of rock ‘n’ roll excellence with MODEL CITISIN. As you listen to “The Highlife,” be sure to check out the B-side, “For You,” for even more of MODEL CITISIN’s contagion.
