Shannon Smith- “I’m Gonna Change”
Following the success of his debut single, “Dance The Night Away,” which claimed the #1 spot on the Australian AIR charts, Shannon Smith is now set to release his poignant sophomore release, “I’m Gonna Change.”
“I’m Gonna Change” takes listeners on a musical journey that diverges sharply from Smith’s earlier upbeat hit. This track delves into the raw emotions of a man grappling with the fear of losing love. Smith’s introspective lyrics, “I am tryin’ / I am dyin’ / In myself / When I’ve done wrong,” lay bare the complexities of personal redemption and the desperate promises of reform made to salvage a relationship.
Steeped in the rich tradition of Western Australian folk-rock, the song draws parallels to the evocative soundscapes of Cruel Guards-era The Panics and echoes the spirit of The Waifs during their London endeavours. The song seamlessly shifts Smith’s focus, demonstrating a surefooted evolution in his musical journey.
As Smith pledges to change and move beyond past mistakes, “I’m Gonna Change” unfolds in an orchestrally epic fashion, signalling that these lyrics are not empty promises but rather the foundation for a transformative journey. This gripping release leaves listeners eagerly anticipating future chapters in Shannon Smith’s evolving musical narrative.
Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
