Straightforward, and has a preach-like consistency all throughout. Eddie Cohn’s new single, “Wheels Stop”, comes in strong, powerful in all ways, coherently expressing the raw feeling and desire to break free in a way that listeners will never want to stop listening to.
Cohn’s vocals grace the song beautifully, setting the standard and prompting his range right off the bat. Layer by layer, the instruments are in-time and appropriate with the structure for seamless listening. There’s dynamic, a balance of soft and loud moments to give emphasis to the message of seeking, pleading for a way out of restlessness.
The lyrics are easy-going yet relatable, the repetition of choruses of “Will you stop / Messing around with my head” is delivered with such emotion that is sure to resonate with listeners. The song essentially revolves around getting over someone who’s not good for you, with the acknowledgement that it’s easier said than done, especially when your heart is true.
Overall, it’s a great track, great sense of it all; to say it’s influenced by familiar hits of the past would be vague, but there’s something beautiful about not being able to pinpoint what or who, which proves Eddie Cohn’s abilities to create something so familiar yet unique.
