Anthony Blue returns with a fresh single titled "Ramona," a track that opens with a chorus-drenched guitar before layering in drums and an additional guitar, creating a textured, dynamic soundscape.

The song melds various styles, drawing on a punk ethos with unmistakable nods to '90s punk. Lyrically, "Ramona" spins a straightforward tale about an irresistible seductress. The track is undeniably catchy, with standout lead guitar work that elevates the whole piece. Blue's vocals deliver lines like, "Everybody wants to know your name/ Everybody wants to join your game," with a compelling energy that captures the essence of the song's narrative.

The song is well produced and Mr. Anthony Blue has deliver an overall strong vocal performance by adding the appropriate amount of emotion into the song. Lyrically, I thought the song was easy to follow along with and told an intriguing and somewhat classic narrative

While "Ramona" doesn't break new ground, its solid songwriting and sharp execution make it a worthwhile listen. Sometime you don't need more than a couple well strummed major and minor chords to create a memorable melody.

Dive into this track and experience its infectious charm.
