Alexander Joseph ft Tashara Forrest – Make a Stand (2021)
Alexander Joseph gave us a motivational and positive boost with his EP Broken but Beautiful. He is continuing this positivity with the spirited and upbeat ‘Make a Stand’. With vocals from Tashara Forrest, the single looks to the future with hope and optimism while understanding that better days are on their way.
Through the single, they chase out the darkness and depression that the last year of lockdowns has brought. The heartfelt single offers an important message that lifts your spirits and makes you feel better about the future. Relatable and passionate, Joseph helps you get through the challenging times we have all faced.
‘Make a Stand’ gently draws you in with a strummed guitar and light piano line. There is an interesting warping tone that rests over the instrumentation that creates a new dimension. This comes into its own on the chorus as the drum calls out to the world and your soul is sent soaring into the sky. The movement of the melody makes you smile and fills you with bright light. Through the music, you are filled with a positive vibe and the understanding that things are not as bad as you think. There is also a sense of hope that everything will be okay while the darkness you may have felt is sent running.
Joseph’s vocals are as soft as the melody and settle over you like a comforting hand. His performance has a companionable edge that offers a connection between him and the listener. Forrest’s vocals come in on the second verse as she effortlessly blends with Joseph. Their vocals harmonise perfectly with Forrest’s higher tone adding another hit of brightness to the song. In the latter part of the single, there is a swell of harmonisations that send you flying into the stratosphere while taking all sadness from you.
Alexander Joseph and Tashara Forrest fill you with bright energy as they chase the darkness from your life and offer hope for the future in ‘Make a Stand’. With unbridled positivity, the single has you feeling better about life while offering a connection with the artists. A gentle melody rests below lifting vocals to send your spirit soaring on waves of good vibes.
