Our Take
Our Take
Candy Opera's latest offering, "The Patron Saint Of Heartache," is a delightful trip down memory lane, reminiscent of the classic jangly pop sound of the 80s. With catchy hooks and dreamy melodies, this album is like a warm hug for your ears.
From the opening track, "Saturday Night," you are transported to a simpler time, where love and heartache were the only things on your mind. The nostalgic lyrics and infectious riffs will have you tapping your foot and singing along in no time.
Lead singer Johnny Blaze's vocals are smooth as silk, effortlessly gliding over the shimmering guitar lines and driving rhythms. His emotive delivery adds an extra layer of depth to each song, drawing you in and keeping you hooked until the very last note.
Standout tracks like "Sugar Rush" and "Heartbreak Hotel" showcase Candy Opera's ability to blend vintage charm with a modern sensibility. The bittersweet lyrics and lush arrangements make for a truly immersive listening experience.
Overall, "The Patron Saint Of Heartache" is a whimsical journey through love and loss, packed with infectious melodies and heartfelt storytelling. Candy Opera may be paying homage to the past, but their sound is timeless. Don't be surprised if you find yourself hitting repeat on this one – it's the kind of album that just begs to be played on repeat.
