The exceptionally brilliant and innovative Sam Feinstein continues to work on his art to perfection. Feinstein, a well-seasoned Bay Area music scene performer, has rightfully highlighted his proficiency as a musician that has developed over the years. Being both the main character in his solo career and a collaborator in his group, Feinstein appears to be the most original voice in the music world in modern times. In addition to being a versatile artist who can play in all genres and perform different functions, his work is always characterized by individuality and innovation. His skills are always noticeable in whatever form he takes; his unmatched inventiveness transcends barriers.
In his new single “Shot Heard Round The Burbs,” Sam Feinstein presents us with another piece that truly captures his artistic vision which is rare on the music scene. The song quickly pulls in the attention of listeners through a very rare soundscape mimicking that of a space-like song before they are taken on a roller-coaster journey of emotions through the story. Feinstein then comes in with his well-known gritty and gravel vocals, supported by a deep, surging, and striking bassline that magnetizes the listener from the very beginning.
After the song takes off from the opening verse, each layer that is later added finds its perfect place in the complex arrangement, thus providing a unique auditory experience. The exquisite mix is the most noticeable. From the bass guitar’s low end to the strings instruments’ flair, each element complements the whole in a single music story.
The bridge offers a “space body” with the instruments playing without a break; however, it is a thrilling experience to have the passenger fly away from the body so fast. Still, Feinstein’s dramatic performance is such that it gives a sense of all the music without any lost pieces.
Feinstein’s mastery is demonstrated by how he constructs full songs that showcase his knowledgeable approach. Rather than focus on individual elements like the sensational opening, the electrifying bridge, and the high climax, he skillfully links them together into remarkable musical works. Right after the song’s memorable entrance to the follow-up’s exciting bridge, Sam Feinstein drives the song so hard that one starts to consider him a natural master of music and production as well.
I never get tired of admiring the wide range of skill sets of Sam Feinstein who with time has become one of my favorites. When I listen to his music, I find an original kind of honesty and amazing creativity, which I cannot resist as a fan. Also, I have been fascinated by his contributions to his band “The Monitors.”
If you haven’t yet, I urge you to listen to “Shot Heard Round The Burbs” yourself online. For, being exposed to the talents of Feinstein’s exceptional songwriting skill, music performance, and lively social criticism can easily convert even the most non-dedicated listeners into fans.
