Quicker - All Through the Night
Country, Rock, Indie Rock
Transtrand, Sweden
Overall Impression: "All Through The Night", is the first single off of band Quicker's latest album, the tune is a melodic symphony of sound and the combination of vocals and melody flow so beautifully together. The production is clean, polished and balanced and has a melody, that you will not be able to get out of your head. The song is a romantic declaration of love, filled with passionate, expressive lyrics of missing a loved one and just wanting them near you and wondering, just when you might see them again. The song will appeal to lovers of country music, especially country rock, country pop, ballads and inspirational music.
Strongest Point(s): "All Through The Night', is bittersweet, romantic, country rock love anthem, filled with beautiful musical themes and nuances. Highlights in the track include, the vocals, melody and instrumental performance. Vocally, the duo have great chemistry and harmony in their voices, but there also is a nice contrast as well. With a higher vocal tone in the tenor range the male counterpart's voice is similar to singer Edwin McCain's and the melody is remiscent of the track "I'll Be". In contrast to that, the female counterpart's vocals are richer and lower in tone and pitch, but they complement each other nicely, their cohesiveness is seen in the harmonies and the chorus, which almost sound choral in it's presentation like they have a choir behind them. In addition, the melody and instrumental performance is well thought out and complex in thought, execution and performance. The song begins with the softer sounds of bells, chimes, keyboards guitar and bass, as the song continues on the dynamics of sound, rhythm and melody increase in intensity. There is a beautiful solo near the end of the song featuring the piano, bass and drums, and the notes and accents on the guitar are great. This one tune that will become an earworm, and has the potential to become a hit on country radio, and sing along with while driving down the highway with it on blast.
