New year, new music! Sam Lumar has just released his track, “Fair Emotion”. It’s an electronic rock piece that originated from an idea in his dreams. How cool is that! Join me as I break it down and explore what makes Fair Emotion special.
The track has an interesting intro. It features a futuristic element due to the electronic synth approach but also has a classical touch because of Sam Lumar‘s tone of voice.
The melody hook in the chorus closely resembles songs from the mid to late 2010s. It’s such a great hook that you might forget this is an electronic rock song because of the added elements.
The beat in the latter part of the track adds depth to the overall sound. It veers towards synth-pop more than its original electronic rock setting.
The added guitar hook in the last few seconds of the song creates a rock-meets-electronic feel due to the crunchy guitar tone. It introduces a different character to the track, but honestly, I feel that if it were added in the middle or made a central hook, it would’ve provided a different texture.
Overall, Fair Emotion is a special track because of its elements that are not common in today’s music. It has a nostalgic feel because of the chorus hook and the crunchy guitar lick in the latter part. If I can be totally honest, today’s music scene thrives on having a unique edge, and while this track fits well within the electronic pop-rock genre, adding a distinctive twist could really help it stand out in such a competitive market. However, this is a great gateway for Sam Lumar to create a more authentic and original electronic pop-rock track. Check out his socials and don’t forget follow to learn more about his music.
