Louise Aubrie Releases A Cinematic Pop-Rock Single
A new single release from Louise Aubrie brings out a refreshing breed of pop-rock that also feels vast in its undertone, giving it a semi cinematic backbone, all accompanied by these robust vocals that come through with a bit of soul but a lot of gusto, so the entire thing just feels colorful but with hints of edginess just beneath the surface, and always attached to this pop sensibility.
This is one of my favorite aspects about the track as a whole; she's always holding on to that pop overcoat, and I love it because it gives the song flair and flavor.
Her vocals come through with an almost theatrical feel, and she has such an outstanding range, but always things from the chest.
You can definitely hear certain kinds of classic influences here. I hear elements of '80s rock and pop throughout this entire thing, but it's very updated and current.
To me, this is a radio-friendly track that exemplifies an artist who puts little pieces of herself into her music and isn't afraid to combine genres so that you're getting something that's hers, but still feels a little bit familiar and can have warmth in its tone while still being embedded firmly in the pop-rock arena.
There are a few layers of guitars going on, including one that plays single notes which are almost like a hook, and those are a little heavier in terms of their distortion, which I liked. It adds a little bit of a 90s feel to it. There's also open chords being hit, and that guitar has a bit of a tremolo effect on it.
The way they sound layered together is brilliant. It has a bit of depth to the track.
You can also hear some organs in the background feeling any space that might have been there before. This brings a specific kind of lushness to the song and really rounds it out amazingly.
When you get to the chorus, she has a little bit of a harmony going on, and it's a massive hook. While this is all happening, the drumming goes into a more full-time approach, so it has more drive, and I really like this because she's hitting this very boisterous tone vocally, and I feel like the drumming really pushed that through the roof.
After that first chorus, things exhale back down to the next verse, and when this happens, you have strings that come in giving a little bit more of that filmic aspect once again, but there are also these new synthesizers that are adding a little bit of trippiness and spaciousness to things.
The keys and synths throughout this track either add that cinematic feel or new color to the song, but it all fits together like puzzle pieces somehow.
You can tell there was a lot of attention to detail in terms of the tones of the instruments and how everything would feel in the end.
Louise puts a lot into her performance on this song. It makes you want to go see her live, simply because she's able to put this amazing energy into the recording itself.
I feel like everyone was completely on the same page here in terms of the performances. The energy rises and falls perfectly, so there's definitely some kind of synergy happening throughout the performers when they recorded everything.
The song is called "Vienna", and when you listen to those lyrics, it goes through a lot of different things. To me, it focuses a little bit on certain kinds of stresses of everyday life and helps me deal with them, wanting to escape and get away, and remember to appreciate and be grateful for different aspects of life.
Being able to separate yourself from certain kinds of tensions and struggles is important. It's not easy for us to do as people. We have to be in a certain mindset, and sometimes getting away is one of the best ways to accomplish that.
There's also a fire behind this track. Like she's calling out.
There's a great bridge that happens before the last chorus, and that whole section breeds a very classic rock sort of vibe. It's still edgy and has an alternative overtone, but the aesthetic of it is very classic rock.
I'm sure that there are a slew of influences under her belt, and during certain parts of the song, like the bridge, her singing makes me think of the vocalist from Metric.
This was definitely a very full-bodied rock single that takes on such a great character, and I think that's what you get attached to the most.
This is a single with personality, and that aspect wraps itself around you and keeps you right where it wants to.
I would definitely suggest diving into this one because it's super fun, and while you're at it, you should also check out another single that she released earlier this year called "Midnight Calls", which is pretty action-packed and showcases a bit of a different side of that personality.
This one also rocks out pretty hard and is completely vivacious.
So, dig into these tracks as soon as you can and see what they do for you.
