Feliciano – The Bounceback (2022)
Pain, hurt and other negative emotions often follow a breakup, but Feliciano is looking at the more positive ones that come from moving on. ‘The Bounceback’ is a feel-good summer song that taps into the realisation that even when relationships end, life goes on and new opportunities approach. Inspired by his own relationship breaking down and the need to move forward, he brings a splash of cheer to some engaging indie-pop tones.
Written, recorded and produced by Feliciano, you can hear his personality through the electronic tones. While this is a pop single, he also writes classical and instrumental electronic music and is planning a synth-based instrumental EP. Packed with positivity, this single is sure to lift your spirits after a breakup or whenever you listen to it while filling you with some summer vibes.
‘The Bounceback’ has a rather quirky opening that grabs your attention with the rather off-kilter tones. There is a pulse to the undertones while the higher level is filled with an almost psychedelic fun-fair tone. This combination strangely gets you bopping away to the music and feeling some rather good vibes. A more melodic flow slides in from under the low tones adding a shimmy and sway to the sound. You never quite know what is going to happen in the melody as a hiss of sound leads you to a sparkling synth line that somehow fills your sense with endless summer blue skies. While extremely quirky and unlike anything else you might be listening to, this melody is really engaging as it brings a positivity that you can’t deny. The organic piano line that enters halfway through changes things while retaining the bright and light energy that has been laid down.
While you are getting used to the off-kilter layers that open the track, Feliciano’s vocals enter with a slightly sad tinge. This sadness is quickly swept away as the lyrics turn to move on from what you imagined was the end. There is a hazy feeling to his vocals like they are reaching out to you from a different dimension. This works so well with the quirky melody and takes the enjoyability of the single to a new level. Through the lyrics and the good vibes of the vocals, the single has you cheerfully moving forward in life and leaving the negative emotions of the past in the past.
Feliciano brings a cheerful energy to the quirky tones of ‘The Bounceback’ to help you move forward and embrace the new opportunities that life has to offer after a breakup. From the first note, the melody gets you lost in its quirky movements leaving you unsure about what will happen next. The vocals carry on this strange feeling as they reach out to you from another dimension while also packing a lot of good vibes into your soul.
