Michael Lazar Releases A Warm And Reflective Pop Single
A new single release from Michael Lazar comes through with a robust breed of honesty in the form of lyrics that are so descriptive that you can almost paint a picture in your head as the song unfolds.
The song has a sort of contemporary pop feel to it, but it's also a bit cinematic, in my opinion. There are parts of it that sort of breathe and grow as the song plays on, and this helps you pay attention to the lyrics, which are a little emotional but not overwhelmingly so.
The song is more about looking back at your life as a person and understanding all the different things that have happened to you, whether positive or negative, and how those things in culmination have helped you become the person that you are today.
It's a little bit of a tough realization, and it's not an easy one to fully grasp unless you're of a certain age.
Once you have reached a certain age, you do take a look back at times and realize that some of the scars that you have, the experiences that you've been through, the love, the joy, the loss, the sadness, the heartbreak, everything, is what builds you to become who you are later in life.
The question that Michael asks here is whether or not you'd want to change any of that.
The answer to that question is in the title of the song.
The track is called "Do It All Again." And it's not just about realizing that your experiences let you become the person you are, but also accepting it. Looking back and realizing that you wouldn't change a thing.
The whole thing is constructed beautifully, and you can tell there's a lot of attention to detail in terms of the arrangement and, again, how it grows and becomes a little bit more intense at certain points.
This does have a bit of a radio-friendly feel to it, some amazing vocal harmonies at certain sections, and is very piano-based.
It has plenty of catchiness, but not in the standard way. Songs like this showcase a lot of personality. It's clear that Michael is an artist who likes to put pieces of himself into his music, and because of that, it feels a little unafraid.
It is absolutely a bit of a vulnerable track as well, but that just humanizes it. It lets us all remember that we're only human after all, and we can make mistakes and have regrets, but still not want to change things because we like who we are.
I feel like it takes a lot of thought to capture that sentiment the way that Michael does here.
The vocal performances are definitely spot on, and, again, he does some great harmonies. But the song has heart and character, which are the biggest attributes to why you get attached to it in the first place.
It certainly shows that Michael is able to write songs without letting go of his pop sensibilities, but also be able to give the music layers in depth.
This is a single for people who like music that lets you think and feel. This track accomplishes both.
Most importantly, it also lets you remember your own life a little bit. It's an introspective song, but when you listen to it, you reflect on your own life in a unique way.
This is exactly why it's as relatable as it actually is.
I can definitely hear a little bit of jazz, classic rock, some of that contemporary sound in there, and plenty more, all rolled up into one track, and it's memorable.
There are parts of this song that sort of bounce around in your brain for hours or even days after it has ended, and you find yourself humming some of those melodies in your head without even realizing it.
I love the chorus of this track, but I find that the melodies he uses for the verses are just as catchy, to be honest.
He also throws in all these little nuances that let the song feel like it's completely authentic.
This was wonderfully woven from start to finish and absolutely showcases an artist who creates music with fewer walls built around it.
I feel like this is something that we all need these days. Songs that are honest, a little vulnerable, but also catchy and memorable all at the same time.
It's been a while since I heard a song deliver this particular kind of warmth.
I suggest checking this one out with headphones on because then you can really take in not just the lyrics, but the tones and textures that are laced throughout its course. It feels good to soak this one in and not miss anything.
So, dig into this track now and remember where you heard it first.
