Blake Dagley releases "Ain't Going Down Like This"

-

 


    Today, we're reviewing an incredible track by Blake Dagley, from his incredible debut EP, "The Nashville Sessions"

This action packed, 3 minute track opens with the soft cresendo of fast paced acoustic fingerpicking and an introduction to Blake's gentle, yet powerful vocals, before eventually as the track progresses, upbeat, jumpy percussion enters the soundscape alongside country-rock inspired electric guitar. The listener is sure to be immediately drawn in and intrigued thanks to the light hearted, funky nature created by the creative soundscape.

At every moment, the song bursts with originality, it's like a mix of country-rock/pop with a unique, modern twist, unlike anything you've heard before. It'll be stuck in your head all day, that's for sure! It's a lively foot stomper, that brings you on a listening experience, and immerses you. It truly engages the listener, it doesn't just play along in the background.

The lyrics really place you firmly in the seat of a 1970's convertible heading towards the southern border of the US, the aweinspiring vibes are immaculate. 

Onto the production, the balance is arguably simple, or, not overly complex, but this works wonders as it makes such a complex track with a very varied soundscape, easy to listen to and brings it a repeatable sound, it's not too harsh to the point where the electric fuzz overwhelms you, and not too simple that it's boring and the listener loses interest, it has first-class level of production, which is very impressive to say that this EP is the first of what I'm sure will be many from emerging talent Blake Dagley.

Definitely check out this art piece of country and rock mixed into a melting pot of passion, emotion and fun. Also, be sure to check out the artist's official website here: https://blakedagleymusic.com/

This new "Folk-Hop" style has been described as "indie-folk culture finally catches the hip-hop bounce"  Us at IndieX couldn't disagree with that statement at all. C4C blends together sounds that work on so many levels. All the tracks move seamlessly as you're taken in by the immersive listening experience. Somewhat minimalistic, the calming, tranquil tones introduced in the tracks sit atop a hum of a variety of different instrumentation. Having already released dozens of tracks, it's little surprise just how much soul is poured into this art, and the outcome is staggering in its beauty.  The impressive element of the music is how tender and immersive it is, whilst still portraying a real and undeniable sense of power. It all passes with wonderful flying
