A classic sounding blues rock tune, Glenn Valle’s ‘A Troubled Mind’ pits together the pure expression of rock and roll with an interspersion of a hip-hop verse to piece an intriguing confluence that gets the best of both worlds. The mumbai based songwriter has purposefully built a progression that highlights a powerful topic that describes an individuals unravelling through delicious electric guitar symphonies, expository verses, and deeply evocative chorus lines. The constant to and fro between the rap section and the vocal melodies on the chorus make for an intriguing interplay that captivates you while narrating its message across.
There’s something to be said for the simplicity of it all as well. Despite the obvious meticulous detail that’s gone into the production and songwriting, the end product feels quite stripped back and effortless. It doesn’t for once sound over the top or like too many details are being carved out at once. It’s got just the right amount of flow, lyrical balance, and melodic sensibility.
