Review
The Backseat Lovers' 'Waiting to Spill' is a musical journey that'll make you feel all the feels, I swear! This 2022 release takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the trials and tribulations of growing up, and let me tell you, it's one heck of a ride.
Joshua Harmon's vocals are the real star of the show here. In tracks like 'Viciously Lonely', his voice drips with raw emotion, perfectly capturing the heartache and vulnerability that comes with navigating life's choppy waters. And can we talk about the instrumentation? The band's evolved sound is on full display, with piano and drum melodies taking center stage in a way that'll make your ears perk up and take notice.
From the slow-building 'Silhouette' to the nostalgia-soaked 'Snowbank Blues', each track on this album feels like a chapter in a coming-of-age novel. The Backseat Lovers have ditched their power-chord rock roots for a more nuanced approach, and while some might miss their old sound, I think this new direction shows just how much they've grown as artists. It's a bold move that pays off in spades, giving us an album that's as relatable as it is emotionally charged. - Lila
