Bringing out that undying pomp and passion of a pop rock tune, Aza Brown has you bopping your head and singing along in no time on his latest single “Wasting Away”. There’s such a freshness to this track, a cheer and emotional spring to its step that’s got that eternal timelessness in both his performance and the lyricism on display. “Seems like you’re wasting a beautiful day” is such a simple yet powerful single line that’s instantly recognisable from the moment you hear it. The arrangement has a spark to it, a jovial jump and spring in its step that’s propelled by the pomp of its drums but really brought to life by the expressiveness that Brown brings to his own performance.
“Oh my this could be glorious, now things are going my way”. It’s hard not to be drawn into the warmth and hope that feels so internal and innate to this piece.
