C. Shirock has reinvigorated the new wave style of the 1980s with hints of modern EDM and a crispness that is unmatched in the production. His vocals are able to do double duty in establishing a narrative as well as further varying the single’s arrangements. The dynamic between the ample synths and C. Shirock’s vocals is nothing less than impressive; the addition of a guitar at around the 3-minute mark provides a further boost to the single’s momentum. The bold sounds embraced by Stand With Me Tonight will remain with listeners long after the single ceases to play.
We covered C. Shirock’s Confess Your Love in November.
