Ian Ward’s “One Shot” is a call back to all of those sunny singer-songwriters that populated the music charts back in the 2000s and the 2010s. There is little more than a guitar and a set of pipes that starts out this single, but the gradual incorporation of drums and a more assertive arrangement allows the track to be built out fully. For fans of performers like Stroke 9, Jason Mraz, and Wheatus, Ian Ward’s One Shot is something that will have listeners singing along well after the song ceases to play. Give the video for the track a play and let us know what you think about Ian Ward’s latest.
