It Don’t Seem Right – Eyal Erlich

eyal erlich

It Don’t Seem Right is an acoustic song with the raw and stripped-back sound of Eyal Erlich.

Erlich is a relatively new artist who is currently performing throughout Israel, and plans to release his first album this year.

His waning vocals makes It Don’t Seem Right an emotive tune, which reminds me of Cold War Kids, an alternative Californian band. The solo acoustic guitar supports Erlich’s organic and unrefined voice, but would perhaps benefit from a softer touch, or the accompaniment of a piano or harmonica to create a smoother sound.

Most of my influences aren’t really musical ones, but life experiences that just bring out the music in me. – Eyal Erlich

His unlayered sound is honest and shows off Erlich’s talent for songwriting. I think his style of music would be perfect for live performances, and may benefit from a more climactic chorus in the recording studio to create a more punchy tune.

Windows – Greye

Windows by Greye is a country-pop song, which echoes early Taylor Swift and Ashley Simpson.

With squeaky-clean, youthful and energetic female vocals – not dissimilar to the likes of Paramore’s lead vocalist – Greye certainly has a distinctive, almost acoustic folk, sound at times.

With vivid lyrical imagery, I could actually imagine this song featuring on The Hunger Games:

“…and shoot that arrow, who know if it’ll be there tomorrow.”

At more than five and a half minutes in duration, Windows is quite a marathon song. Nevertheless, this song has plenty of emotional suspense and instrumental build-up that keeps you listening.

With clear talent on the band’s behalf, I’m sure this song could easily find its way on to an easy-listening or country tunes radio station, if it hasn’t already. Certainly a harmless, sweet, harmonious and youthful group of musicians.

Greye will be hitting the road on July 15, 2017 for a tour of the Eastern United States in support of Windows. Information and dates can be found at here.
