Dive into The Cadence of Rhyme’s emotional, reflective, alt-rock track, ‘BORN TOO SOON’
Listening to this makes you want to sit back, take a deep breath, and reflect back on your life journey & choices so far and ponder upon your lived experiences, good and otherwise. ‘BORN TOO SOON’ is a hard-hitting, beautifully composed alt-rock ballad built upon piercing electric guitar harmonies and stirring vocals that sing compellingly of an all too relatable, fragile state of mind.
The track opens cinematically, with somber guitar wails layered at a slow-burning tempo, building tension before swelling into a full-bodied blues rock arrangement.
The opening verse, sung in despairing, emotional vocal tones, is almost Chris Cornell-esque. They express a deep, honest vulnerability and regret for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. The track crescendos into a cathartic chorus with the title refrain sung out in grasping intensity.
Musically, The Cadence of Rhyme delivers a soul-piercing blues rock sound, particularly at its finest when the track launches into those euphoric choruses. The arrangement exudes a powerful, magnetic emotional tone that radiates resilience underneath all the regret. At 4 minutes runtime, ‘BORN TOO SOON’ builds patiently and gracefully like all good rock songs, allowing for plenty of space and depth for the emotional tone to intensify.
Just prior to the 3 min mark, we’re treated to a sublime guitar solo. It radiates pure hope and strength. A final, gripping chorus loop leads into the concluding section, led by the softly wailing guitars that fade out. We’re captivated by the raw blues rock power and energy from The Cadence of Rhyme and look forward to checking out their other compositions next!
