EUAN BLACKMAN’S NEW INDIE-FOLK SINGLE “I DON’T THINK ABOUT IT (TOO MUCH)” IS PERFECTLY INTROSPECTIVE
Indie fans, rejoice as your next big star takes his throne; Euan Blackman has curated a signature style so solid he could hold a candle to 1975, selling out huge arenas worldwide. The production quality of his new single, “I Don’t Think About It (Too Much),” is a force to be reckoned with, but his lyricism makes him stand out from the crowd.
It begins with a contagious 4/4 beat, mixing in unexpected elements like an acoustic guitar to establish a vulnerable, intimate energy throughout the rest of the song. Blackman continues to use his voice as an instrument, evenly layering harmonies in the mix to drive the lyrics home.
The harmonies throughout the song are incredibly tight, insinuating that Blackman could, truthfully, create something incredible with his voice alone. This production style hasn’t been used often within the past few years, but it is long overdue for a resurgence.
“I Don’t Think About It (Too Much)” reflects on shared humanity, convincing even the most critical cynics that we, as a worldwide crowded, are not so different.
