Right from the start, I already know why this classic vibe song has already accumulated over 30,000 streams on Spotify!
Opening with a lilting electric guitar riff, the beat of steady gated-drums kick in, complete with a funky guitar fuzz – a vibe of that familiar 60s indie rock that needs to be revived.. The vocals hold this vibe, yet have a original sense to them, think along the lines of a mix of The Beach Boys and Ashcroft perhaps. There’s a beautifully smooth quality to the vox as Craymo sings the meaningful, love driven lyrics, Maybe an old relationship or former lover – but desperately wanting to reconnect with that person... I guess the lyrics are open to the interpretation of the listener, this helps the listener connect with the song and build a subconscious bond with the artist!
It’s not over-complicated or fussy – ‘Love You More’ is a minimalistic (in terms of instrumentation) yet sentimental track encompassing that all too human emotion. It’s pretty damn pleasing to the ear too. Flavoured fuzz rock vocals, a breezy kissed beat and an exquisite return from the artist.
If I had to give any criticisms to the track, it’d simply be asking for the song to have a longer duration as it does an incredible job of leaving you wanting more!! At three minutes, the impact and build up is definitely effective and intriguing, but it's one of them tracks that could go on for 6 or 7 minutes easily!
Regardless, Craymo have certainly showcased a wonderful blend of sound in their latest single and have set the standard high for his future artistic direction. Though it’s short and sweet, the unique flow of unpredictability ensures that song’s impact is nothing shy of powerful!
