A few words from the reviewer… For those who don’t know me I’m half of Serenity here on Mp3Unsigned.com. I’m not a producer, I’m a vocalist/song writer and I’m writing this review as such.
Michael Barnes… Where should I start? Also for those who don’t know I would like to introduce you to one of the most talented 20 years olds I know. Who has constantly surprised me with his fresh, talented, and sometimes bitter mind ;-) sorry Mike it’s a compliment really! :-D I’ve been a bit of a fan now of Michael’s since he joined the site. I have been constantly surprised and impressed by the depth of his music and songs.
For the record as a rule I’m not usually too keen on rock music… Thanks to Michael and a couple of others here my views have now changed.
When Michael offered Push It Down for review I was pleased. This is one of my favourite tracks on MP3Unsigned.com and I will explain why.
For any artist the ultimate goal has to be an active audience really feeling there music. With Push It Down I believe Michael has achieved this and more.
Starting with a rocking introduction you know this is going to be some journey and the writer has something to express. You wouldn’t be wrong.
With killer drums, wicked guitar and a strong vocal performance this song is already made. Add catchy as hell riffs, melodies, guitar solos and even shouting gives the whole song more passion. So already by the music I’m feeling the song. Add to the point expressive personal feeling in the lyrics, what’s not to like? So not only do I feel the sentiment of the lyrics of the song the music backs up the sentiment perfectly. As a listener I was found reflecting on past experiences as others have I’m sure, which is an awesome and a massive compliment to the composer!
I’ve gone over and over what I should or shouldn’t be writing and in this case it’s pretty simple. If you haven’t heard this track already check it out as it really speaks for itself. The whole production, composition, and content oozes quality and I want to thank Michael personally for letting us hear it here first.
Michael Barnes is certainly one to watch and I wish him the best of luck in his musical career.
