Ali3ns – Honeymoon (2021)
The honeymoon period of a relationship is full of happy memories that you can look back on later in life. The problem is that after this period, life as a couple can become routine with the colourful tones turning into greys. This is what Ali3ns is considering in their single ‘Honeymoon’ as they look at trying to keep the colours and energy of the honeymoon period.
This search comes from Cheech Cortal (vocals, guitar), M.A.L.P (bass), F. ‘Animal’ Wazinger (drums) and Diego Sitja (keys, percussion). With a punch of charisma, the band has you looking for colours in a soundscape of wonderful rock tones. With an ability to merge a range of genres and influences, they capture the nuances of life and bring them to your ears in the most engaging way.
‘Honeymoon’ hits you with a blended soundscape from the first moment. The melody is all sliding smoothness with a sultry undertone and some funky beats that have you moving to them. There is also an unbelievable richness to the music that washes over you. This has you sliding through the verses before you are picked up on a wave of rock-tinged tones for the chorus. The keys that come in on the verses have a great feeling to them that just adds this extra flavour to the music. The interplay between all the melodic elements is masterfully handled allowing each to shine while coming together for a solid soundscape.
The fusion sounds of the melody are enhanced by Cortal’s vocals which move through different vibes. There are some soulful vibes in the opening of the track that moves into a more indie rock vibe on the chorus. When the chorus hits, his performance turns again as his voice melds with the harmonising backings for a soaring feeling. This dynamic performance is wrapped around reflective lyrics that match the addictive movement of the single. This is an utterly infectious single that keeps you hooked from the very start to the last second.
If you are looking for a fresh sound that is unlike anything else you might hear right now, ‘Honeymoon’ by Ali3ns is what you need. The single fuses a range of genres and styles for a cohesive single that sinks into your bones. The masterful execution of this blending is wrapped around reflective and engaging lyrics that make you yearn for the colours of the start of a relationship.
