Citizen Smith delights with new, effervescent pop rock release, ‘Summer Magazine’!
The Brit pop rock group, Citizen Smith, are causing quite the stir with the release of their latest feel-good, classic rock track, ‘Summer Magazine’. The track pays homage to vocalist Paul’s wife, who is also featured on the track’s cover.
Fans of the golden era of rock n roll, of The Rolling Stones, The Beatles will find a lot to rejoice in and resonate with in this track. We open onto driving rock rhythms and that classic tambourine-drum beat, immediately evoking a warm, fuzzy nostalgia.
Cool, enthusiastic vocals enter, the lyrics rooted in youth, charm, fun and togetherness. Bright, catchy hooks pair remarkably with sharp, punchy riffs. Ethereal synths sections blend effortlessly into the mix as the vocals croon to our most basic of human needs of being loved.
‘Summer Magazine’ is easy on the ears but also boasts of subtle musical complexities. Past the halfway mark, we love how the arrangements are given ample space and depth. The lyrics evolve to a more present, forward-thinking tone while easily flitting back to that emotional bridge.
The overall feel of this track is one that swings between nostalgia and rememberance for the people we’ve known and loved, balanced with an appreciation for what we have in the present. An ideal start of the day, a summery track on a day of joyous adventure and fun time spent with friends, that leaves you feeling bright and energized!
