Track of the Day: Rhys Coventry – Carry Me Home (2023)
If Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes were to have a lovechild, the chances are likely it would be Rhys Coventry. Hailing from Australia, this singer-songwriter carries the best of commercial pop through his music but with a mild folk infusion. Still a minnow in a pool of sonic sharks, Coventry is a brand-new artist on the pop scene; however, he is already turning heads. With a feature on The AU Review, and now on The Other Side Reviews, Coventry may have only one single beneath his belt, but that single is impressive. Come with us as we look at his debut song ‘Carry Me Home’.
The lead track from his upcoming EP Daybreak, Coventry blasts onto the scene with the pop single ‘Carry Me Home’. Recorded and produced with award-winning producer Garett Kato, the acoustic debut song is filled with catchy hooks, infectious lyrics and a toe-tapping intensity. At its core, the rawness of the instrumentation is heartfelt and intoxicating, but the mastering by Studio 301’s Ben Feggans gives a folk-pop flourish to a bold melody.
With natural storytelling skills, Rhys Coventry worms his way into your head and heart with poetic lyricism. Upbeat and jovial, his warm vocals wrap around the words taking you for a ride but also connecting with you on a personal level. Touching on adulthood and the navigation of this crazy journey, Coventry resonates with listeners with an intimate connection; however, the powerful melody seems to add a recklessness to his words tugging you into his kaleidoscopic whirlpool of music.
“’Carry Me Home’ is an upbeat, foot-stomping singalong that I could see being played at parties, on road trips, in the shower, and basically whenever you’re down to have some fun and loosen up. This is the song I always imagined as my first single, so I didn’t want to hold back while recording in the studio.” – Rhys Coventry on ‘Carry Me Home’
