If you are looking for a single that you can easily listen to at any time and have a blast, this is potentially the single you need.
‘Possession’ has a really laid back vibe to the opening as the guitar washes into your ears. There is a gentle sway to the music that you can’t help but get caught up in. You can hear the light touches of classic rock woven into something a little more modern that makes the music so easy to connect with. There is a smooth and sophisticated feel to the melody that highlights the experience and prowess of the band. While the music has a clear rock tone, there is a warble that is utterly seductive and draws you into a hot and humid space. This evaporates for the chorus with the push of guitars and drums that pushes at you with a heavier rock feeling.
As the melody has you swaying and bopping to the rhythm, Cabbie’s vocals have an addictive hook to them. He draws you into the rather romantic flow of the lyrics that take a slightly darker turn. There is a plea to be with someone, but this also toes the line of being somewhat creepy. The heat that comes through in the melody, is picked up by the vocals at times and wrap around you. This pulls you further into the vocal performance and the affection felt for someone who potentially doesn’t feel the same. When the chorus hits, you may find yourself singing along to the catchy flows.
Jean Cabbie & The Secret Admirer Society draws you in with modern, yet old-school, rock tones and romantic vocals that edge into darker territory in ‘Possession’. The melody is a blending of tones, styles and feelings as it moves from laid-back to hot and humid. Cabbie’s vocals are smooth as they draw you into the feelings of the lyrics.
