LITM Singer-songwriter picks tunes that will make your feet tap brought to you by Quaint Delusions, Robbie Rapids and Track Dogs!
Quaint Delusions - Anything Real
Quaint Delusions' Anything Real is an alt-rock exploration of authenticity, much complexity, thought-provoking and veiled under a layer of self-discovery, both raw and mesmerizing, in song and instrumentals.
The song begins with foreboding guitar riffs, and then gradually builds up a crescendo of drums and layered melodies at the climax. Vocals have been both fragile and authoritative; it captures every emotion that a song would ever deliver. Every verse takes you closer to the story, asking questions about the reality of constructs and individual truth.
Musically, Anything Real is quite moving, with lyrics that linger in one's head much after the track has gone over. Melancholy undertones merged with high-energy bursts of music seem to echo the emotions of trying to find order within chaos.
Quaint Delusions has concocted a song that says so much, weaving great storytelling with the catchy alt-rock melodies. Anything Real is going to make you question, then love your truths.
2. Robbie Rapids - Mule of Mine
Robbie Rapids's Mule of Mine is one of those dusty tracks that seems to breathe life, an under-wing of the classic rock feel of old along with some lovely bluesy tones; the testament of uncharted trials in toil and grittiness in all walks of human endeavours; almost as though in honour to some unthanked soul.
A spirit of determination and resilience comes out with driving rhythms and gritty guitar strings on Mule of Mine. With a raw edge to the voice, Robbie brings a rock legend quality to his vocals with sincerity blended in with a hint of swagger. The steady drumbeat and groovy bassline keep the energy rolling as this track is engaging and meaningful at the same time.
Lyrically, the song stands out for its relatability. The lines celebrate the strength of enduring burdens while maintaining hope. It’s a celebration of grit and gratitude wrapped in a rock anthem.
Mule of Mine is a powerful blend of classic influences and modern storytelling, making it a memorable addition to Robbie Rapids’ repertoire.
3. Track Dogs - Amor Di Mi Vida
Dogs' Amor Di Mi Vida is a lively anthem to love and life, joining catchy instrumentation with sincere lyrics. The track testifies to how the band could create music that elevates spirits and connects to people on a soul level.
Latin-inspired rhythms, lively horns, and infectious melodies add to the song to create a sensation of joy and festivity. Acoustic guitars blend nicely with the strong percussive elements, adding texture to the track, while vocal harmonies complement to make it high-pitched to the new sound level.
Lyrically, Amor Di Mi Vida is literally a love letter to that special someone who brings light to your life. The lines encapsulate all passion and devotion that are defined by real love. It's an ode to connection and is delivered with both sincerity and flair.
Dogs are absolute masters in instilling soul and energy into their music, and Amor Di Mi Vida is no different. This will have you moving, smiling and probably falling head over heels once again.
