Occasionally injecting crescendos of deep, heavily distorted guitar, the song consistently utilizes both electronic percussion and a traditional live drum kit, while maintaining its steady, oh-so-catchy keyboard rhythm, and every so often adding a soft, echoing electric guitar strum, giving the song it’s dream-like quality. Croll’s voice is genuine, yet purposeful and articulate, which is perhaps a reflection of his highly successful stint at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Dan Croll is able to craft a song that can only be described as engaging easy listening: simple music with simple lyrics that somehow has you hanging on every beat and every word. It’s almost as if you can’t wait to hear what’s next, even though you already know what’s going to happen. Look out for the release of Dan Croll’s second studio album in the coming months, and check out his new single “One of Us”!
