The acoustic version of K-Syran’s Hello is richly emotive and draws on a rich rock traditional to cross genre boundaries. The dual duty of the vocals – telling a story and adding further depth to the instrumentation – tie together this effort like no other. The guitar is nothing more than an acoustic, but the beauty present in each note matches well with the aforementioned vocals. A rough-hewn production makes for a cozy sound for voice and instrument to build off of. With nods to Jewel and Melissa Etheridge, K-Syran is able to make something new and vibrant while extremely reverent of earlier musicians.
