Everything But The Everything has a lot of strengths as a songwriter but one thing I love about this artist is his ability to collaborate with people. One of his latest songs is called “Denials featuring Tobias Hawkins.”
This song felt a little darker than most of the other songs I have heard from the artist. I was picking up on more of a post-punk type of vibe. The song opens with a jazzy beat, reverb laced guitar and nuanced elements which add to the atmosphere. The lyrics fit the song almost perfectly. It essentially feels like someone yearning for some type of escape. On that note the song is dynamic as you hear a little after the one-minute mark where there are cascading vocal harmonies which combine into a catchy hook. As the song progresses, the message starts to feel embedded into your memory and I was picturing someone dancing in the darkness. The song is nicely balanced and by the time the hook is revisited around the three-minute mark the mood sinks. The structure for this song is fairly straightforward going back between a verse and chorus but one thing it does is drive. It feels like it is heading towards something or somewhere that’s undefined. The main thing I was thinking about was that this song was about salvation. Everything But The Everything is on a roll. The artist has been prolific for the last couple of years and this is another song that adds to his eclectic sound.
