Today is the day!
Way back in June I had to extreme pleasure and honor of
interviewing Antonia, (which
you can read here). During that interview she stated that her debut EP Break
Everything would be coming soon. Well today I have some very exciting news for
you guys, today she's releasing the lead single off of her Break Everything EP
and I couldn't be more excited! Before we get into the swing of things I'm going
to let you guys take a listen to it and catch the vibe from it for yourself.
Here's the single:
First and foremost what I love about this song is her voice. If you know anything about me it's that I hold the true singers near and dear to my heart. Hearing Antonia sing, whether it's a ten second clip on Instagram to her bran new single, she always manages to captivate me with her soulful voice. Unlike many of the singers that you hear these days that rely on heavy production to cover up the fact that they can't sing, Antonia needs none of that. In fact before the actual beat comes into the picture you can hear her harmonizing over the track, giving you a warm up for what's to come. Another thing that I noticed is that she doesn't give you too much or too little of her voice, she seems to hit every note in stride.
The next big thing that I love about the song is the actual
beat. I've come to the realization some months ago that live bands and actual
talent is my thing. I love groups like the roots and singers who come out to
their own band and you can just tell who is about their craft and who's not.
Well this song manages to utilize both production and live instrumentation. To
me, (after listening to it a million times already), I can tell that it's
relying more on it's live band feel than that of over the top sampling and extra
noises that most artists rely on. Plus you get to hear her skills with her handy
and trusted guitar, which is always a great thing with Antonia. Ryan Anderson, (@RJAnderson08),
really did a great job with this one.
In short, this is the kind of music that I live for. A song
that puts your mind in a place of deep thought about a person who you wished
would just act right, all the while making you tap your feet and flat out trying
to sing the lyrics, even though you know you can't. From the mini guitar break
down to the overall good feel about song due to the vocals there's not enough
great words in this world that I can say about this song. If this is any
indication of how the EP is going to sound then she's off to a great start.
If you liked the single then I definitely encourage you to go
over to her sound could at
ToniaMusic and
follow her. She has many other great tracks up there for you to check out as
well, and most importantly this song is available for purchase, so please
support!
Until next time guys!
