Francesca Tarantino Drops An Honest Rock Single
Francesca Tarantino returns with a blistering new rock single that showcases some heavy-handed emotion and touches on an experience that a lot of us have had, and it's all done with a very lush performance and soundscape, with layers of rocked-out, distorted guitars and loads of vocals flowing through the background of the track, giving it lots of depth.
This track is called "Satisfied", and the way she branches out on this one is more in the form of the heavier rock genre. In terms of its honesty and how the artist is able to shed skin by telling truths and holding very little back, that's nothing new for her.
A lot of her music is emotionally driven, and no matter what emotions are being portrayed, you really know it came from some genuine place.
Francesca is someone who puts a lot of pieces of herself into her music, and this track is absolutely no exception to that rule.
This is a song that's about being in a relationship where the other person leaves for something they may think is better.
It's definitely a tough pill to swallow, and again, it does happen to quite a lot of us, but Francesca portrays this in such a raw format that doesn't just hang on the aggression side of things, but also the part of that situation that realizes it's not such a bad thing.
There are hints in this track that lead towards the fact that if that person was willing to walk away from you in the first place, then you were in the wrong relationship anyway. They are the ones that are not worth it, and they probably did you a favor. You dodged the proverbial bullet on that one.
Still, it's very difficult to deal with, and it does dredge up some closed-fisted emotions because it's definitely a bruise to the ego and doesn't feel good whatsoever.
It takes a while to get to that place where you realize that you dodged that bullet, but Francesca lays it all out with such a brilliant way of articulating her vocals, and because of that, you end up connecting with it quickly.
The track showcases elements of classic and alternative rock sort of meshed together with brilliant guitar work through and through, but everything is very melodically driving as well.
The drumming is really heavy-handed and delivers a lot of the energetic backbone that the rest of the track sort of feeds off of.
I love that Francesca isn't afraid to really grind down and put something out that's a bit harder and heavier. I like that she's able to display the side of things that showcase a little of that disenchantment or frustration, anger, or just being in awe of what happened.
She rolls all of those aspects up into a ball and really delivers something that's got a powerful approach.
The chorus is actually super catchy. She leads up brilliantly with a pre-chorus, and the way she doubles up her vocals really has a thickness to everything.
One of my favorite aspects about this track is the way she layers in those backing vocals. They're used almost like instruments themselves and add different textures to the song that feel almost ghostly or haunting.
The track also boasts plenty of great guitar harmonies that come in, and this is where that classic rock influence sort of takes place. I feel like a lot of that was drawn from really classic stuff, but you can also hear that the artist has a slew of influences that she holds close to her heart.
She's able to utilize those to create something that's all her own, while being truthful and telling her story in an impactful way.
The cool thing about that backing vocal is that it gets more intense as the song plays on. When you get to that final chorus, it's really belting out, and it adds something special to the song. Not just another layer, but something that sort of cries out, and this is also a play on the emotional aspect of everything.
This was a killer track, and if it's your first go at listening to Francesca Tarantino's music, then it's a great door opener for that.
There are a load of previously released songs that are really great in terms of showing the different sides of a personality and how she writes about certain aspects of her life that help shape who she becomes later on.
I would definitely check out "Stay Anyway", released earlier this year along with "Spider On The Wall" to name just a few.
She has plenty of songs to dig into, so I suggest you get going.
Dive in now and see how her music affects you.
