Well, I admit maybe an April fool’s joke wasn’t the best motivation
to get a blog going. But an idea has been toying on my head where share songs/pieces
of music that have influenced me. So without further ado:
Written by prolific session guitarist, Ian Bairnson,
Hollywood Heart is a love letter to Los Angeles. Whist personally I may dislike
Los Angeles for a variety of reasons, the cultural pull of the paradise city is
almost unmatched. It is without much wonder that it captures so many hearts and
minds.
This song has a hazy vibe, laced with much reverb and synth
effects, maybe portraying the famously polluted city. The Chorus takes us into
bold minor chords with a much wider sound. The depth of the bass is
appreciated.
In the bridge section, after the par-for-the-course sax
solo, the backing takes an alternating approach with guitar and bass fills.
Final Rating: 8/10
