Overall Impression: The songwriter and artist RonKat Spearman has produced and released his new song Believer. A high-energy and funky piece of R&B, Believer is modern music lover's dream come true. It draws inspiration from some of greats, while still sounding completely new and unique. Asking questions about our purpose, the lyrics comb through existential thoughts and ultimately reveal that what we are is change. How we use this revelation, and if it will be for good or for bad, is entirely up to us. This tune has just the right amount of catchiness to sound familiar yet fresh, and sticks around in your memory long after it has finished. The guitar work is elevated and inventive, and the vocals are wildly smooth. Overall, Believer asks big questions, has a bigger sound, and makes the biggest impact it possibly can.
