JD Nash - 'Someone Special'
Singer songwriter JD Nash searches for ‘Someone Special’ on infectious and upbeat multi-genre single.
’Someone Special’ opens on an intriguing instrumental, instantly peaking its listeners interest with an infusion of wonky new wave influences and a pounding percussive rhythm. Soon enough, JD Nash’s smooth vocal comes in on a rich 80s inspired vocal melody that is instantaneously catchy. Released “just in time to get the sads after Valentine's Day”, ‘Someone Special’ puts a pleasantly upbeat twist on heartache and loneliness.
Mixed and mastered by Chris Common (Le Butcherettes, Chelsea Wolfe, Antemasque), ‘Someone Special’ draws on 60s and 70s classic rock influences so make sure you stay tuned for the sensational guitar solo around the midway mark of the song. There’s a hugely melodic drive and affecting intensity to the track that taps away its listeners emotions, but the emotion is softened by some smokin’ jazz influences reminding its listener why brass instruments are pretty badass. The track then ends on a gorgeous, mellow instrumental making you feel all fuzzy inside.
’Someone Special’ is a beautifully crafted song that draws from some really wonderful vintage influences, whilst retaining a modern indie appeal. Nash has released a meticulously crafted song that not only captivates through its thrilling melodies, but there’s an achingly honest lyrical theme that has Nash’s listener connecting at the track’s vulnerable core. As Nash croons, “I need somebody special, are you somebody special?” I hope he realises that he too is someone special.
