SINGLE REVIEW: I - Unheard
'Unheard' emerges as a powerful anthem from I, offering a poignant plea for those who feel silenced and ignored. With the evocative line, "how long must I be unheard," the song becomes a rallying cry to recognise and give voice to the forgotten and marginalised.
Blending shimmering 90s-esque indie with vintage rock and powerpop sensibilities, 'Unheard' draws comparisons to bands like Gigolo Aunts and The Lemonheads. Its gritty, distorted grunge feel is driven by apathetic, angst-filled lyrics, while the potent riffs and distinctive drumming provide a strong, resilient backbone.
The track’s captivating chime and mesmerising vocals, with their expert use of harmonies and layering, perfectly capture the essence of early 90s rock. A soaring guitar solo adds further depth, showcasing I’s ability to weave nostalgia with modern sensibilities. 'Unheard' stands out as I’s best work to date, blending the spirit of bygone days with a fresh, compelling edge.
