Red Skies Mourning – A Beautiful Mess (2023)
From the US Marines to metal bands and now a solo artist with an eclectic sound, Red Skies Mourning is nothing short of inspiring, interesting and intriguing. Influenced by the likes of Chris Cornell, Post Malone, Twenty One Pilots and Alice In Chains, Red Skies Mourning has a strong hard rock meets metal tendency. Yet, while the rock tinges illuminate his music, a diverse mishmash of pop, hip hop, and rap sliver through the melodies. From his debut single ‘Signs From You’ to the most recent single ‘A Beautiful Mess’, Red Skies Mourning (also known as Chris Aleshire) is garnering an international following with coverage from Sinusoidal Music, PopFad, Less Than 1000 Followers, Music For All and various playlists.
Following his well-received singles ‘Crack In The Ice’ and ‘Something About Her’, Red Skies Mourning enters 2023 with ‘A Beautiful Mess’. Unlike ‘Crack In The Ice’ which embraces a commercial pop sound, the US-based singer-songwriter adds a hip-hop beat to a dream-pop melody in ‘A Beautiful Mess’. Placing you in a kaleidoscopic sonic swirl, the new song has a fuzzy ambience while still tossing you about with the heart-stirring arrangement.
While the melody itself can keep you engrossed with its pop sentimentality, it is the poetic lyricism that brings an intense intimacy to ‘A Beautiful Mess’. Rich and bold, Red Skies Mourning’s vocal execution adds warmth to the single, but it also stings of hollow vulnerability and fragility. In an empowering way, ‘A Beautiful Mess’ touches on the perfect wholeness of being in a relationship where each points out the other’s weaknesses and strengths. Yet, simultaneously, the single is haunting with an elegant delicacy sending shivers down your spine.
