Gideon Foster – Fatal Kiss (2022)
Gideon Foster is getting us excited for his upcoming album with the single ‘Fatal Kiss’. Drawing on a lifetime of experience, he adds a splash of new wave to an alternative and indie rock sound. While the single rests on rock sensibilities, his music creeps through various genres as he brings a journey to the soundscape.
While he started his musical career later in life, there has always been a place for music in his life. It is only over the last 6 years that he has really started writing and releasing music for the world to hear. Carrying a uniqueness that comes with the journey of life, his music fuses the best elements of all genres as he leads us through self-discovery and much more.
‘Fatal Kiss’ grabs your attention with an opening warble that shivers out into nothingness. This leads you to a really wonderful twang of guitars that brings the new wave touch to the melody. These tones bounce off a drumline that has you bopping and your feet tapping away to the rhythm without you realising what has happened. It is a really infectious melody that you can’t help but fall into and start to groove to. The rock tones are light and have been merged with brighter touches. While there is a lightness and a rather easy movement to the sound, there is a darker edge resting in the low levels. This tickles at the back of your brain before skittering away before you have the chance to fully comprehend what it is. This wonderfully connects with the story of the lyrics.
While you bop and tap to the rhythm, Foster’s vocals tap you on the shoulder to get your attention before leading you into the lyrics. There is a catchy hook to his performance that makes you want to sing along, particularly when the chorus hits. Through the lyrics, he considers relationships and love that are better left in the past or not started at all. There is something about his performance that gets you hooked to the story he has to tell like you are watching a movie or reading a book that you just can’t put down. The single is sure to linger in your mind just like the fatal kiss from the lyrics lingers in his.
Gideon Foster gets you instantly hooked to his easy sound, makes you sing along and lingers for a long time in your brain with ‘Fatal Kiss’. The melody fuses lighter indie rock tones with new wave for a catchy movement that gets your feet tapping. His vocals have a smooth flow that sinks into your brain and draws you into the tale of the lyrics.
