One Tonic - Not Gonna Waste It

7623-snapinstaapp42103074410234435520666889126483065211842792n1080-1713900081163.jpg

Not Gonna Waste It, the latest release from The One Tonic, navigates a musical terrain blending elements of electronic and rock, resulting in a pop-infused, cinematic track. Opening with a whispered vocal layered atop atmospheric tones and driving percussion, the track immediately sets a dark and mysterious tone. 

 

As the song progresses, it ascends with the introduction of synths and other conventional elements that seamlessly complement its trajectory. The vocal delay adds a nuanced layer, enhancing the overall texture of the composition.

 

 While the breakdown may veer slightly toward melodrama, the inclusion of arpeggiated synths on the hook serves as a welcome embellishment. Thematically, Not Gonna Waste It delves into familiar territory, exploring the importance of seizing the moment in a world where time is fleeting. The artist opts for straightforward language to convey this message, eschewing poetic embellishments in favor of a direct approach.

 

Melodically, the track maintains a solid foundation, evoking a dark, nostalgic atmosphere punctuated by moments of explosive energy. While the overall tone echoes shades of Evanescence, there's a yearning for a touch more grit and dissonance instead of the clearly defined architecture. 

 

In sum, Not Gonna Waste It stands as a well-crafted piece of music, boasting a cohesive structure and strong delivery that marks it as a noteworthy addition to The One Tonic's repertoire.
