Wattmore’s latest release, ‘Romantic Side’, is a fun and warm song with a vintage air around it. The song is a witty, heartfelt rebellion against modern dating culture with a background score that feels like the old American countryside.
Based in Brisbane, Australia, Wattmore is a duo formed by brothers Kai and Aiden. Their music pulls influences from alt-rock, punk and Americana genres, combining them with honest and genuine lyrics, giving us a truly beautiful musical experience. Romantic Side offers us a story we all think of sometimes– about a time where chasing love took real connection and effort instead of mindless scrolling and swiping. The emotional honesty of the song makes it feel timeless.
The track has stunning instrumentation as well. Each instrument takes its own time to shine and gives the song the old-fashioned rustic vibe which it so charmingly holds. The harmonising of the guitars and drums feels organic and beautifully imperfect, which gives the song a tenderness in spite of its grittiness. The vocal delivery is brave and bruised– because we all know that it takes real courage to put your heart on your sleeve and hope your love is returned, because it’s natural to face rejection and heartbreak. Yet, the connection and rush we feel will always be real. The song is for every old soul who believes in handwritten letters and forever promises they intend to keep.
You can listen to ‘Romantic Side’ by Wattmore on popular platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.
