Soda Cracker Jesus – Hoping for the Best (2022)
Moving from the rock tones of ‘Drug My Soul’ to the psychedelic tones of ‘Kill It Tomorrow’, Soda Cracker Jesus shows that he knows how to pack a punch of musical energy. He is now combining everything from his past releases for the big guitars and electric tones of ‘Hoping for the Best’. Through this electric movement, he has us journeying through the ups and downs of life.
With lyrics that consider the sadness that unexpectedly hits us to finding our way in life, the single tries to show us that the glass is, at least, half full. Regan Lane, the man behind the music, continues to add his experience to music that is packed with attitude. If this is the first time you are hearing his music, you will easily see why he has been nominated for 2021 Artist of the Year on Music Mafia Radio.
‘Hoping for the Best’ gets you rocking out the sound of the single from the first moment. The vocals grab your attention before the guitars and drums sweep you into the single’s current. As the main vocal line hits, they have an interesting mixture of glam rock and alternative rock threaded through them. The lyrics capture the uncertainty that many of us feel throughout life while unleashing these emotions into the world. While there is this burst of uncertainty, the vocal performance effortlessly leads you to the brighter side of life. There is a haze of euphoria that takes you into the stratosphere only to drop into a well of psychedelic colours. There is a lot going on in the vocal performance as the delivery slides from rocking out to sighing and leaning back into the music.
While you journey through the single with the vocals, the melody packs an electric punch. The initial burst of sound is a swipe of guitars propelled by the drums. As the vocals call out to your soul, the melody seems to fly out into the far reaches of the universe. This turns into a kaleidoscope of celestial colours that pulse and swirl around your brain. It is an extremely addictive melody that you can’t help but rock out to. Some notes shimmer with the glitter of glam rock, while the drums push you forward with some alternative and classic rock flairs.
Soda Cracker Jesus packs big guitars into the electric tones of ‘Hoping for the Best’ as he delves into uncertainty and hope for the future. The vocals grab your attention before filling the single with the emotions of the track. Beneath the vocals are a rocking melody that sweeps you into the current of the track.
