Tori Boltwood – Fame (2021)
Tori Boltwood is calling out to other artists with her single ‘Fame’. A rebellion against the harmful elements of the music industry, she encourages artists to work together and not against each other. While the single focuses on the music industry and artists standing up to the harmful tendencies it has, there is an empowering vibe laced into every note.
While Boltwood only started creating her own music two years ago, she has experience which she draws on for her sound. She was part of her school’s musical theatre group, studied theatre at college, was in a jazz band and has vocal training. Pulling on all of this, she creates a single that strengthens anyone who listens while taking on the negative aspects of the world.
‘Fame’ has a rather dramatic feeling to it that makes you think of epic musical theatre productions. There is a luxurious vibe to the music that is all richness. The moving beat grabs your attention and holds you while the horns add to the richness of the track. There is a slight rise and fall to the music that enhances the vocals perfectly. While the music really grabs you and holds you in place, it really bolsters the vocals which are the focus of the single.
Boltwood’s vocal experience is clear in the track as her powerhouse vocals are controlled and creep into your senses. The dramatic melody scoops her vocals up and lets the velveteen slide of her voice enthral you. The backing vocals are utterly wonderful as they whisper and form another layer of the melody. While you can easily get lost in the power of her performance, the lyrics are really worth some serious attention. Touching on the pitfalls of chasing fame and the race against others that this brings, she cautions against what wanting fame can bring. Woven into this is a call to help those around us and turns into a really empowering single that is utter perfection.
Tori Boltwood fills your ears with dramatic productions and rich vocals while warning against the race to ‘Fame’. The single is so rich and textured that you can get lost in the velveteen movements. Her vocals are powerful as they empower listeners and encourage us to help others instead of fighting against them.
