Chris Peters Gives Us a Warm and Welcoming Single

A warm and welcoming new single from Chris Peters delivers a special brand of honesty and the form of love song of sorts that delivers this great classic folk and contemporary acoustic pop approach that feels very radio friendly and also boasts this thick character that you end up really getting attached to.

"Well" is this song that has a way of making you feel kind of warm and cozy. When you listen to the song you can't help but think of your person, your relationships, and some of your own memories even and I think that's a very connective aspect musically.

You can tell that this track came from some place real for Chris and this also helps push that personality forward and makes the whole song feel very authentic in a way.

I feel like this was something that Chris, as an artist, needed to get out in the open and maybe it was even a little cathartic for him to write and release but for the listener, it's super relatable and this is part of what makes the song special.

It's pretty straightforward but you can also take it in different ways. You can input it into different kinds of relationships and that's why it becomes as connective as it does.

Of course, this has a great acoustic guitar tone throughout it, live percussion, and a little bit of a jazz hint in its underbelly which I really enjoy because that adds this forward moving flow to the song.

Having said that, you also have instrumentation like lap steel and that's what brings out more of an Americana undertone in the track as well. So you can hear these different sets of influences throughout this one song coming in and out and I feel like that's beautiful because he's releasing music that has an overall sort of pop coating but is influenced by everything from classic folk, country, and more so there's a very lush soundscape to this track.

Now, the vocal approach is not really Americana nor is it country to be honest with you. This has a much more pop and contemporary feel to it and I think that works extremely well because he's just being himself on the track which is exactly what he should be doing.

There's definitely a growth in this track in the level of intensity so to speak. This song gets a little bit bigger and lusher as it plays on with more vocal harmony and backing vocals that serve almost as instruments themselves bringing on a little bit of a vaster undertone and because the song is pretty much emotionally driven the entire time, it does have this great cinematic backbone to it.

The track has a great way of breathing and feeling alive and at the end of the song it's as stripped down as the beginning of the song is, it's almost like the exhale at the end of the track.

I love this approach because it shows that Chris really has a knack for arrangement and composition. He knows how to intro a song and let it build become big and intense in a way, and then breathe out and calm back down again so that you remember where it started and that emotion and feeling that it began with.

Really a beautiful track and something that ends up staying with you for long after it's ended.

You can tell that Chris is certainly an artist that has a real love for his craft and when I say that I don't just mean playing guitar or singing, I mean writing full songs so that people can feel and think from them which I think we need a lot more of in music these days.

That's what you want from a song like this. You want to think and you want to feel from it and that's exactly what this accomplishes.

I would strongly suggest listening to the track with headphones on so you can soak in everything that's going on in the song and remember where you heard it first.
