Ernesto Wendy – Wendy (2022)
At some point in our lives, we will have people who discourage us for a number of reasons. Fortunately, Ernesto Wendy is here for those times, with his single ‘Wendy’. Inspired by the Chilean expression ‘Ponerle Wendy’ which means ‘be enthusiastic’, the single is a rock punch that has you shifting away from discouragement.
The somewhat quirky single combines alternative rock, glam rock and Latin pop for a unique flair while drawing you into the Spanish vocals. Joining Ernesto Wendy (vocals, guitar) on the single are Sam (bass) and Olivier (drums) who bring their own touches to the track. An official music video has been released for this single and continues the quirky vibes, while bringing the heart of the song to life.
The rock guitars thrum into life and draw you into the moving vibes of ‘Wendy’. There is a great push to the melody that has you bopping to the sound as the drums seem to take hold of your shoulders and move you to their rhythm. The melody has a perfect balance of alternative rock and nostalgia as the guitars flow around you. As the single continues, a light touch of Latin pop enters with the higher tones bringing a new texture to the sound. Through all of this, that moving vibe remains, keeping you moving until the heavier interlude at the end. This section of the track is quite different to the rest of the single in that it punches through your senses and shakes you up. A unique flair in the last moments of the track leaves you feeling energised and ready to take on those who discourage you.
While you are moving to the rhythm of the melody, the vocals bring another rock flow into the track.
