The Non-Professionals – Margo and Cece (2022)
As we grow up, the friendships and romances of childhood are lost and relegated to our memories. The Non-Professionals reflect on these lost connections through the nostalgic and slightly melancholic ‘Margo and Cece’. The wistful remembrances of the lyrics are bolstered by the bright and upbeat movement of the vocals, only to be contrasted by the darker instrumentation.
Packed with melodic movements that are sure to get stuck in your head, the single is a summer jam with playful vibes, melancholic memories and punk-pop sounds. Christian Wanner (vocals, guitar), Luke Brisendine (drums), Julian Bugbee (lead guitar) and Steve Kozlowski (bass) already have two major releases under their belt, yet push the envelope with this track. If the single alone doesn’t get you in the band’s vibe, the fun music video just might.
‘Margo and Cece’ strums to life with a great summer vibe that makes you think of bright days spent out and about with friends. There is a lively feeling to the melody that makes you want to bop to the sound and turn up the volume to further soak up the good vibes. While there is an upbeat vibe to the music, there is a touch of nostalgia woven into the notes that enhances the vocals. The chorus drops some of the bright summer vibes for a push of punk-pop that is really engaging. The guitars and drums push at your brain before the musical interlude hits. This interlude is packed with a playful energy that puts an effortless smile on your face.
As the music brings bright summer vibes to your ears, the lyrics draw you into a memory of a summer’s day long past. Through the rather descriptive lyrics, the band takes you on an adventure with friends that is a lot of fun. While you are having a blast in the memory of the lyrics, there is a touch of melancholy that comes with the knowledge that these days are in the past and can never be experienced again. When the chorus hits with the punk-pop instrumentation, the vocals pulse against the drums, making you want to jump around. There are so many engaging aspects of this track that you are sure to find something to love each time you listen.
Bright, upbeat, yet melancholic and nostalgic, The Non-Professionals pack lots of good vibes into their single ‘Margo and Cece’ while considering lost childhood friendships.
