Iz:be - We're All Family
Soul, pop, soft rock
CA,United States
Overall Impression: In an emotionally salient and musically engaging attempt to unify the increasingly fractured human race, IZ:BE presents their heartfelt and anthemic original song, We're All Family. Blending elements of classic R&B with Soul and Rock, the song takes the slow-burning approach, beginning with one deeply impactful voice and sparingly applied keys before eventually building into an impressively impactful rallying cry to "Love one another, have faith in each other, [and] pull together," reminding us that We're All Family.
Strongest Point(s): There's a really beautiful musicality to this song! The vocal qualities are gorgeous - very emotionally impactful and perfect for delivering the song's lyrical message. The instrumentals have a very classic feel to them, combining with the vocals and synth strings to give the whole track a really timeless aspect. Love the break at 3:31, and the subsequent guitar solo is sublime! The chorus is very impressive - both lyrically and musically, making for a seriously repeatable hook. Really great work!
Target Audience Appeal: Listeners familiar with the classic tones of Soul, R&B, and sweeping Rock ballads will fall right in with the tones that IZ:BE is producing, and the lyrical content and overall musicality on display in We're All Family stand to resonate with anyone that carries a pulse! Making masterful use of the sharpened musical skills at their disposal, IZ:BE's We're All Family is an honest and impressive appeal to those that listen to do what they can to understand each other during these exceedingly divisive times - and that's an idea devoid of genre.
Artist target suggestions: John Legend, Erykah Badu, James Morrison, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, The Meters, Alicia Keys, Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, The Temptations
