A New Single From The Spring Verdict
A recent release from The Spring Verdict gives a true-to-heart indie-pop songwriting approach that uniquely touches on elements of other genres which is all coated in an almost theatrical characteristic sheen.
"Sunburnt" has a certain sort of gracefulness to it but also comes with bits of harder edge as well.
What I think is most infectious is the chorus that the song boasts as it has a way of creeping up on you.
The single comes with an immense pop brightness to it that feels very comfortable and even welcoming in a way.
The song is the latest phase of the project's main songwriter in terms of the sound created and it still kept to that hook riddled and colorful style.
"'Sunburnt' is about that initial gut-punch of a relationship or a flame ending when it’s not by your choice. When I wrote the lyrics, I was thinking about the kind of situations that burn out not necessarily over any ill will, but because one person just wasn’t feeling it. In a way, those can be the toughest to come to terms with. Because you invested yourself in it emotionally, you’re in a place where you’re looking for answers, or some meaning or silver lining in it all, and even some immediate band-aid relief from what you’re feeling. I liked the idea of analogizing romantic attraction to the sun; it can be captivating and warm and life-giving, but it can hurt you if you don’t know what to expect or if you aren’t protecting or looking after yourself"
