Alex Beck – Tunnel Vision (2022)
There are many different types of love, but Alex Beck is focusing on that electrifying one that has you lost in the magic of being around the person you care about in ‘Tunnel Vision’. Layering rock guitars with dreamy synths and love-struck vocals, she brings the ethereal feeling of being lost in love to sonic life. The immersive sound of the single will fill your veins with the emotion of the track, while getting you dancing to the moving chorus.
Simulating the feeling of overwhelming love closing in on you, this track will have you riding waves of euphoria, while feeling the live-wire of love shoot through you. Growing up surrounded by classic rock and 80s pop, Beck started to find her unique blend while attending Berklee College of Music. This exploration of her sound has led her to the nostalgic ethereal tones that fill this track.
‘Tunnel Vision’ sweeps you up and deposits you in a vibrating melodic movement. The beats vibrate through the soundscape and bounce you into the light synths. The synths have a moving feeling to them as they slowly move past you and create the tunnel of the single. It is a slow-building immersion that closes in around you when the chorus hits. There are some nostalgic touches to the melody that bring a hint of retro vibes, only for this to be swept up in the unique movement of Beck’s sound. Each thread of sound plucks at your senses, before combining, to create an overreaching sound that encompasses you completely. It is a wonderful sonic representation of the overwhelming love that you can easily fall into. As the single progresses, light tones sparkle through the higher levels of the melody to create the euphoria of being utterly in love.
As the music creates the tunnel of love that closes in around you, Beck’s vocals bring the real hit of emotion that inundates your senses. The lyrics walk you through the first meeting of people, before moving into the realisation that you are falling hard. There is a hint of uncertainty in the first verse that is swept to the side by the rush of affection. Her performance is stunning as it fills you with love-struck emotions and the magic of being with someone who seems to bring brighter colours to the world. As you head into the chorus, her performance gains an ethereal edge that adds to the dreamy sigh of being in love.
Alex Beck inundates your senses with love and the magic of being around someone who adds colour to your life in the immersive ‘Tunnel Vision’. The sweeping tones of the melody lead you to the building beat that is sprinkled with touches of retro tones.
