In a world filled with the constant ebb and flow of relationships, “Under The Sun,” released this 8th of July by about-faces stands out as a tender and honest portrayal of love’s intricate dance.
about-faces is comprised of Sennen Ludman on the vocals and guitar, along with him on the vocals is Danielle Capstick, who is also doing the keyboard word. And we’ve got Nigel Ngwenya on Bass, Cormac Connolly on Lead Guitar, and Joseph Schofield on drums. Recently playlisted on the “Fresh Finds UK & IE” playlist by Spotify and interviewed live on air for BBC radio Leeds, they are already off to an amazing start.
Their captivating soft-rock gem, “Under The Sun” effortlessly weaves together hazy vocals, emotive harmonies, and a suspenseful beat, creating an immersive musical experience. The song explores the tumultuous nature of youthful relationships, entwining themes of love, lust, and loss with bittersweet nostalgia.
The hazy male voice, sung with a sharp and emotive mood, takes center stage. A harmonizing female voice adds softness and depth to the vocals.
The driving guitar and sparkly drumming provide a dynamic backdrop, with a thumping rhythm lingering underneath the melodic layers. This musical arrangement amplifies the emotional impact of the lyrics, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and anthemic.
“One standout lyric, ‘Wave a white flag, I’ll surrender,’” serves as a poignant centerpiece in the song’s narrative. The concept of surrender takes on a modern twist as the lovers find themselves at a crossroads, bargaining for resolution while the love between them slowly fades away.
With its soft-rock allure and emotive storytelling, “Under the Sun” by about-faces beckons us to bask in the warmth of its musical glow and find comfort under the ever-shining sun.
