Peter Gural – Best I’ve Ever Had (2022)
Peter Gural showcased his innovative approach to music through ‘Stay Out of My Dreams’ as he merged thematic lyrics with anthemic melodics. He is now bringing the influences of retro surf rock to his sound in ‘Best I’ve Ever Had’ as he sinks into a carefree late June afternoon. Inspired by moving away from his partner, the single captures the emotions of the afternoon as he dreamed of what it would be like when he saw her next.
Using a really chilled vibe, the retro tones of the guitar slide your sense into a wonderland of sound that you can’t help but relax into. Continuing his innovative approach, this single dances over genre lines while still carrying a distinct sound. If you are in the mood for a single that you can easily relax into, this is the one for you.
‘Best I’ve Ever Had’ opens with a piano line that draws you into the spoken-word sample vocals. As these vocals drop, there is a light feeling to the melody as the keys pluck and sparkle like lights. There is a really chilled and warm vibe to the music that instantly transports you to a late summer afternoon where you can reminisce about someone you miss. Woven into the warmth is a touch of surf rock that enhances the summer vibes of the music. There is no way you can listen to this melody and not start to feel relaxation creeping into your muscles. Between the good vibes of the instrumentation is a sense of longing that lightly tugs at your heart. Later in the single, there is an interesting melodic interlude that brings small bursts of sound that adds an interesting texture to the track.
As the melody is filling your senses with a warm summer afternoon, the vocals drop you directly into the emotions of the track. Gural’s voice has a light sigh woven into a smile as he thinks about someone he cares about. There is a feeling of wanting to get away from where you are and run to a place where all you need to do is spend time with someone you care about. His performance continues the touch of surf tones that shine in the melody as he puts a smile on your face. As you listen to him trying to stay strong while away from some he loves, you are filled with thoughts of your own loved ones.
Peter Gural has you smiling and relaxing into the warm yearning of ‘Best I’ve Ever Had’ as you think about loved ones who are far away. Both the melody and vocals carry a surf vibe to them that enhances the warmth of the single. The melody is packed with little touches of different styles while the vocals tug at your emotions in a really pleasant way.
