A blend of country and R&B, Phillip Good fuses ballad and beats in his new track titled ‘Wake Me Up’.
The track is an exploration of heartbreak, a journey through the artist's memories of past love and the desire to remove feelings of grief. Phillip masters different layers in the soundscape here. Initially, there is a relaxing essence, with a minimal backing track and mesmerising piano arpeggios that complement the mellow tone. However, the song becomes interrupted by an alarm, as though the artist was ‘woken up’ from his emotional daze. With synth that explores electronic and colourful textures, Phillip gives us sunny and radiant tones that add a sense of unpredictability to ‘Wake Me Up’. The artist creates an atmospheric experience for the listener with his musical choices. The intricate details in the soundscape embody the bittersweet end to relationships, how many of us alternate between feelings of relief and new beginnings yet still long for our past lovers.
Phillip Good’s ‘Wake Me Up’ takes us on an emotional rollercoaster. His ability to create a melancholic soundscape that can resonate with listeners, yet still intrigue and uplift you with its upbeat elements, makes this the perfect post – break up song!
