Trash Tones - Fire
There is electricity in the air that crackles like the spark from an engine speeding to freedom when we hear Fire by Trash Tones. The four-piece band functions out of the beautiful French Alpes. The band explores rock and experimental music, and their chemistry shines through in all their songs. Their latest release, Fire, is one such single that puts their talent on full display. Fire has a personality like no other, it weaves out a sonic adventure that can set your soul ablaze with excitement. They serenade a refined and rich guitar section down on us as soon as we hit play, a perfect sweetener for the auditory palette. Their unique classical rock energy has us listeners on our toes, entering a trance with their music. Their intricate detailing and embellishments of instrumentals are what sets them apart in the current rock music scene. An eye for a detailed production process is evident, but the effortlessness and the suaveness with which they do this and their incredible performance is what catches the ears and hearts of the listeners. All this adds up to an incomparable old-school swagger in the number. This sophisticated detailing of world-building in sonic form is similar to the incredible storytelling we see in Once Upon a Time in The West. The unique quality of storytelling through storytelling is what keeps this film in the film studies classrooms and in the cinema hall of fame. If you are into some elevated rock and roll that might fill you with a passion to not give up and live your life to the fullest, then Trash Tones is the band for you.

Pronto Valid - Fire
Fire begins with a combination of synths that set the vibe immediately. And when the beat drops, it solidifies the image. Pronto Valid, Ozzient, quadaintshit and Zach Balance all perfectly blend together despite the song being made by accident. The song uses a 4/4 beat and is more than four minutes long. You would think that this would make the song repetitive, but the beat is cleverly utilised. With the catchy refrain that's sure to be stuck in my head for days and the cohesive rap verses that keep the rhythm interesting, the track holds your attention well, and the length feels perfect. The backing vocals that come up after the second verse are beautifully done. It's definitely my favourite part of the song, the layering done perfectly. This track is an excellent example of how some of the best songs are made when friends get together in a studio and just let the creative juices flow. The ease of friendship is apparent in the track as it runs smoothly and effortlessly through all the features. This is a song made around the people featuring, giving them each their time to shine. Each artist matches each other's structure while also maintaining their individuality. For me, this feels like the perfect song to listen to at night while running, having a walk, or even just driving around. Perfect for my night drive playlist. Pronto Valid is definitely an artist to keep an eye out for, especially for all the hip-hop fans.
