What a musical delight for Bristow to come up with a mix of classical, country and hip hop. The Chief Executive has tried a fusion between rural folk and the western rap which crescendos into a chorus of energy and minimalism. The shrewd use of instruments (musical not aircraft) to produce a different sound and harmony to the translational which lifts the verse. The catchy lyrics have not been overshadowed by a racy instrumentation but highlighted to the point of prominence by cleverly rotating between the key of ‘G’ and ‘E sharp’ during the alluring ballad like chorus.


The song shows a great understanding on contrast on every level: the lyrics that bounce between optimism and conviction, the balance between softer notes and the bass, and even the sense of dynamics within the sincere and antidisestablishmentarianism lyrics.


Coasting by on an irresistible foot-tapping beat, Bristow’s perfect keyboard work and bouncy rhythm allow the song's lyrics detail to engineer minor problems before brushing them off and feeling things will be all right in the end. And after a quick drop off in the bridge, the song begins to build back up, vamping on the chorus, and coming as close to anthemic as this group is capable.


The chant of "One misson, one world, one team" becomes a sing along mantra which will have us all humming on the way to work.


Bravo...


More...more......
