Qwiet Type - I Want More
Alternative/Alt. Rock, Pop, Indie Dance
Florida, United States
Overall Impression: Fusing synth-heavy electro-pop with big-sounding arena rock sensibilities, Qwiet Type's genre-bending "I Want More" is what happens when a number of distinct styles are confidently sprayed across a blank creative canvas, it's not easy effectively blending styles together in such an inspired manner but Qwiet Type does it brilliantly, giving listeners an experience that stylishly transcends the confines of any one given genre with both great artistic flair and alluring gusto. A strong lead vocal performance leads the charge whilst a tantalizing production ensures every bombastic drum hit, synth element, and gloriously dirty overdriven guitar part hits hard, and whether you're a pop, rock, electro, or alternative lover, there's definitely plenty on offer for a broad range of music lovers to enjoy here, myself definitely included.
Strongest Point(s): I'm always a fan of inspired genre mashups and "I Want More" is a shining example of what happens when its done right, electronica, and rock styles have oddly always been rather complimentary to one another when combined, but as with any mixing of contrasting elements, it can be something of a balancing act to make sure all pistons of the creative engine are firing effectively and Qwiet Type has clearly spent a great deal of time establishing both his unique sound and style, as a result, "I Want More" boasts great character. We can take any element of the track and clearly see the interesting fusion of styles on display, for example, the vocals have a particularly soulful quality to them, yet, adopt an interesting hip-hop vocal style in certain sections of the arrangement, on the other hand, the fantastically varied synth and percussive elements evoke electro and synth-pop, throw in the riff-rich overdriven and ambient guitar elements and you have some marvelous dashes of indie and classic rock elements sprinkled throughout for good measure.
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of big-sounding electro-pop rock will find "I Want More" to be a solid listening experience.
Artist target suggestions: Twenty One Pilots, Maroon 5, Cage The Elephant, Gorillaz, Generationals, AWOLNATION, X Ambassadors, MISSIO, Palaye Royale, 8 Graves, Adam Jensen, Tribe Society
