A new single from Maeve De Voe and Accidental Martyr delivers a beautiful cross between vintage pop and a new approach that come together to create an atmosphere that feels welcoming, can be very nostalgic, and comes through with an insanely danceable and addictive soundscape.
"Nothing but a Coward" no time giving you a classic beat with synths and keys that follow suit giving the track that classic '80s pop vibe, and the blending of that with R&B style vocals, and just an unstoppable energy, makes this song something that feels like you've been listening to it for decades.
You can tell there was definitely a lot of attention to detail paid during the creation of this track, but it also has soul and heart behind it, and I think that adds to the drive of the song as well because it is very excitable, and it comes through with so much color that you can't turn away from it.
The teaming up between Maeve De Voe and Accidental Martyr is a match made in heaven if you ask me and this is because the vocal approach not only matches the vibe and the style of the music, but it also matches that energy.
When you have a track like this that's got bursting energy and such vivacious and vibrant tonality, the vocals have to follow suit otherwise it'll feel lackluster.
Vocally, this track is perfect. Not only does the energy and the approach match the musical approach of the track, but it actually adds more energy to it and lets the music complement the vocals and vice versa.
This classic pop aesthetic is completely nailed here and it's now by all parts because everyone involved from the composers to the singer, all got the memo. They were all on the same page in terms of the aesthetic of how this song was supposed to come through, and that's why it came out perfectly.
The vocals are beautifully done with a gusto and a bit of soul which adds to the song's atmosphere, and you can hear these different influences coming through in certain parts of the song as well. And when I say that I mean both musically and vocally.
The instrumentation is lush with bass lines that bop and some insane synth work that adds funk to the track as well.
Actually, his track is embedded in funk/ It just feels like a track that's very well put together, has jazz, funk, and soul, and is coated in a great pop polish that works wonders and hits a very spirited sound.
This is the kind of track you listen to nice and loud. If you're someone like me, you won't be able to stop yourself from moving.
Such an intense groove with that bright pop energy is unstoppable here and if you're driving in the car, you'll be shaking your butt in your seat but if you're at home, go ahead and move the couch back so you can dance around the living room because it is endlessly fun.
This song definitely gave me bouts of nostalgia because I grew up listening to a lot of classic pop stuff which was, especially at that time, very influenced by funk and had a great, lush instrumental soundscape just like this song does.
This was a pop soiree that should be listened to at full volume so that you can get down with it. By the second time around you'll be singing along as well.Â
Check this track out and remember where you heard it first.
