Hero, the latest effort by Los Angeles’s Malea, is a fantastic addition to her corpus. The track begins with little more than Malea’s vocals and guitars. As the track continues to incorporate additional elements (such as a bass and keys), the resulting shifts in momentum ensures that Hero is proceeding at a quick pace. When things move into the two-minute mark, Malea puts a bit of brakes on the composition. The subtle shift in the song’s sound ensures that listeners will remain interested from the first note all the way out to the final refrain. Hero will be on NeuFutur rotation through the spring.
We have covered a few of Malea’s tracks over the course of the last few years; re-visit our Swept Away and You’ll Never Fix My Heart.
