Jerace - 'Crawl'
Review by Patrick Dalton & Staff
“Crawl” is an intense track with lots of vibe and swagger. A hip instrumental track sets the stage for a show stopping vocal performance while an ultra-catchy chorus and coolly sparse verses make this song stand out and shine. Inspired melodies seem to naturally evolve from section to section. The dynamic build from verse to chorus is expertly done. The overall vibe of this song is undeniable.
Lyrically, “Crawl” explores themes of perseverance and personal resilience.
“I don’t wanna be high, I wanna stay low to the ground, I’m saying goodbye to whatever I know will bring me down.”
The vocal delivery makes these lyrics relatable and engaging. “Built up an appetite for barflies and honey “...“Chasing the wind is where the trouble begins.” These lyrics are clever and sharp.
The arrangement of “Crawl” is an exploration in modern pop. The way the chorus builds by in energy is very choice. A rhythmic bridge adds excitement while a massive musical buildup in the last chorus pushes the song over the top. Vocal production and layering is masterfully done and the backing track matches the music perfectly. A perfect summer jam.
