Will Soma’s latest tune, ‘Reverse’, feels like a welcome nostalgic bop for any rock enthusiast. The distinctively 90s inspired instrumental goes hand in hand with Soma’s own vocal performance that so perfectly encapsulates the post-grunge era. There’s a driving electric riff that maintains a constant and blissful melodic edge without ever going too hard or raucous. Soma’s singing is measured, only ever rising to something angsty and strongly evocative in the chorus line. It’s written with a degree of nuance but effective simplicity in structure, following a strong couple of verses, a hard-hitting chorus, and a killer bridge that wraps the entire piece together with ease.
The final coming of the song’s chorus hits you like a truck, enveloping you with emotion as you sing along to that chorus line.
