Javier Martinez’s new single, the lively Courtesan, touches upon the singer-songwriter style of Dylan with a bit of folk-punk. A solid narrative is weaved through the single, while Javier’s vocals shine brilliantly on the top of the track. The guitar/drum dynamic imbues the track with greater complexity.
Courtesan’s charisma and easy-listening sound ensures that fans of a wide variety of styles will find something that they can appreciate. The gradual increase in speed through the second half of Courtesan provides an emphatic ending to one of the catchiest cuts we have heard so far this autumn.
