One Cure For Man – The Haunted (2020)
James Parkinson is the man behind One Cure for Man and has returned with a fresh new single. He started releasing music in 2013 with his debut album Serenade the Damned. Since then, he has released three more albums.
His latest release ‘The Haunted’ is a collection of thoughts on the ever-changing world of social media. It is an emotive track looking at the false and damaging perception of the world provided by the lens of social media. The accompanying music video highlights the false presence we see of people when looking at their lives online.
‘The Haunted’ has a simple piano opening that sets the tone for the whole track. The piano opening appears throughout the song creating a great base. Overall, the melody has a bitter edge of hopelessness to it which links with the lyrics.
You do not have to know about the message of the track before you listen. It is all laid out clearly in the lyrics of ‘The Haunted’. Parkinson’s vocal performance is strong and moving with the high notes driving everything home. The combination of vocals and melody make you take note and consider what is hiding behind the happy pictures on social media.
One Cure For Man tells a sad tale of modern life in ‘The Haunted’ using a combination of bitter melodies, provoking lyrics and stirring vocals. The falsettos throughout the track give you goosebumps and drive home the message of the song.
