Looking for a modern song detailing the emotional ups and downs of teenage love (and the practically inevitable heartbreak)? Nash McGrew’s latest release – “Lights Out” – is a capable, catchy telling of a very familiar predicament (that is in no way limited to one’s teenage years).
Starting with an acoustic guitar and subtle synth strings, “Lights Out” eases in the electronic beat until the verse picks up – Nash’s reserved speak-singing stretches a bit, granting the song a noticeable spike in urgency. And after the verse traverses another energetic, incremental step – with Nash’s lower vocal register accompanied by a reaching higher octave – the chorus begins, adding more subtle instrumentation and additional clapping percussion.
Is the song catchy? Absolutely. Does Nash McGrew (who – along with his fanbase – simply prefers “Nash”) create immediately relatable music with a beat that begs one to hit the dancefloor? Absolutely. And if you want more Nash, don’t worry – the multi-instrumentalist, recording engineer, and producer is releasing a new track every 1.5 months.
If you’re a fan of modern, mellow pop with a genuine story to tell, we recommend following this young, talented, and very promising artist.
