Le Concorde Releases A Vibrant Pop-Rock Single
The latest and greatest from Le Concorde hits with a bright and colorful pop-rock approach that sticks with you and gets your body moving. This track is one of the more spirited ones I've heard from the artist and has a wonderful way of making you want to get up and dance around the room.
"Saint James" is an absolutely vibrant single and comes with a great music video that showcases the artist's presence and energy very well.
First of all, the track itself showcases tons of great energy, and that is completely infectious right from the start. This song certainly builds that energy up and hits just right.
This song boasts a combination of great approaches that range from classic and pop rock to a bit of an '80s pop undertone, and that is due to the songwriting, composition, arrangement, but also certain kinds of synth and key tones that are used throughout the track itself.
Listening to this, you get the understanding of where some of the influences came from, and you can tell that this whole project is built off a real love for pop music in general.
You can't release a song this vivacious and fun without having a love for all kinds of pop music, and this is a perfect example of a song that infuses many of them together to create something refreshing but still somewhat familiar at the same time.
Not only does the track feature some amazing guitar work with lively performances, but also this very driving rhythm and drumming that pushes the song into that pop sphere.
The synth work is almost everything here. It adds a lot of layers to the track and lets it come through with the spirited and bright aesthetic that it has.
Of course, the vocals do a great job of giving off that same brightness with amazing harmonies and hooks that just feel good when you listen to them.
This is one of those songs where you can tell it was fun to track. You can hear him having a blast recording this song, and that is an aspect that comes through with the energy, and in turn is what is so infectious about this track and probably the artist as a whole.
We're not exactly strangers to Le Concorde, and this is an amazing direction for an artist that I already know pushes some boundaries and utilizes classic influences to create something that he has a real love for.
The music always has heart, and this is a perfect example of exactly that.
The video is a great example of how he puts that same heart and energy into the visual aspect of what he's doing.
Being able to have that presence and energy as an artist on film is important because the song itself, again, boasts that vibrant energy so if the video doesn't line up or match with that, then it would feel off.
Fortunately, the artist does a stellar job of portraying that same energy on film, and the video comes through shining as it features him rocking out with all kinds of colorful scenery and clothing.
There are golden microphones, vivid colors, and outstanding scenery around the entire thing, but through it all, he's bouncing around, singing out into the microphone, and just having a blast, which is part of the sentiment and vibe of the track.
The music video is one of the best ways to actually listen to the song for the first time, and if you're not familiar with Le Concord, this is a great way to start.
I would jump in with this track in particular and then take a listen to another outstanding one called "Corpus Christi".
Both of these songs showcase a little bit of a different side to how he writes his music but they also share some of the similar Staples that you can hear in his stuff too.
This track had that unbeatable aesthetic and spirit, which is why it hit so well and why I loved it so much.
It was all pop-coated, and even though it rocked, it's still hit with this endless catchiness, and again, was totally infectious as soon as it started off.
Definitely crank this one nice and loud because it's a fun pop-rock single to say the least.
When you're done, check out some more releases from the artist because it's well worth your time.
