G Matthews – “Chasing Happy” begins with an emotive arrangement that cohesively ties together guitar, drums, and bass. When the vocals begin, they build off of the framework laid down by Bif Naked, No Doubt and Paramore. With cross-over success possible onto the pop charts, Chasing Happy is the rare example of a track that will both bury its way deep into listeners’ brains while having interesting and engrossing arrangements that stand up to repeat listens. G Matthews impresses with her first single from her Chasing Happy album, which will be released in October.
Rating: 8.3/10
