Til Now – Have You Ever (2022)
Through his single ‘Bored’, Til Now considers how the end of a long-term relationship might be less complicated than it initially seemed. He is now turning his attention to a different aspect of relationships with ‘Have You Ever’. Using his indie rock tones, he looks at wanting something special with someone or simply wanting a relationship with someone who is not interested, despite the chemistry you have.
Pushing the edge of his comfort zone, this single offers a feeling of musical growth as Til Now challenges himself in new ways through the soundscape. Telling a story that many people can relate to, he covers the emotional journey in upbeat rhythms, colourful synths and a vocal performance that moves from punchy to smooth. Packed with a lot of energy, this is definitely the track that will cement his place on your favourite playlist.
The progressive run of sound that opens ‘Have You Ever’ grabs hold of you and pulls you into the single. There is a really bright and hopeful feeling to the music that creates a colourful bridge that you run down with the vocals. Shining through the colours of the music is an energy that makes you want to bop around to the sound. There is no way you can avoid this as the jangle of the guitars and the roll of the drums make their way through your senses. While there is an indie rock vibe to the music, the synths that tumble through the higher levels add a great texture to the sound. As the single progresses, some of the happy excitement of the opening fades through the verses, only to burst back to life in the chorus. As you listen to the music, you are sure to feel a smile making its way onto your face.
As you are drawn into the colourful world of the melody, Til Now’s vocals have an authentic edge that makes the emotions of the lyrics shine brightly. His performance is smooth as it slides over the movement of the music with a wonderful clarity. While his performance flows over the music, the lyrics offer a single side of a conversation, packed with everything you might want to say to someone special who doesn’t acknowledge the chemistry and potential between you. The verses are packed with the potential of a relationship, before heading into a catchy chorus. The energy of his performance on the chorus is fantastic and will get you singing along at the top of your lungs.
Energetic, catchy and fun, ‘Have You Ever’ by Til Now is an engaging examination of chemistry, potential and a lack of acknowledgement of all of this that gets you moving to its sound. The melody is wonderfully layered with synths moving through the upper levels and flowing over the colourful jangle of the guitars. The vocals are a smooth ride over the bridge formed in the melody as Til Now looks at connects and what could be.
