SINGLE REVIEW: KREGG - I Tried
KREGG’s ‘I Tried’ starts with an atmospheric intro that draws you in before the track’s true weight reveals itself. His vocals enter with a rich warmth, balancing delicate fragility with bursts of raw, confident power, adding an emotional depth to the song. The contrast between the tender verses and bold, driving chorus feels like a carefully crafted dynamic.
There’s a clever mix of influences at play. The melodic guitars jolt with angular riffs, pushing the track forward, while a psychedelic midsection shifts the tone, blending prog elements seamlessly into the song’s indie rock core. This unexpected turn adds a layer of intrigue, allowing the track to breathe before plunging back into its full intensity.
A brief moment of silence creates a nervous tension, setting up the powerful finale where KREGG drives the song home with full force. ‘I Tried’ combines indie fragility with alt-rock energy, throwing in progressive twists and post-rock textures that keep the listener on edge. It’s a confident, layered piece that highlights KREGG’s ability to balance vulnerability with a commanding presence.
