SINGLE REVIEWS: Gavin Marengi - Millions
Hailing from Massachusetts 15-year-old Gavin Marengi is making waves in his hometown community, captivating audiences every time he plays.
His new single 'Millions' is wonderfully produced and really catches an authentic American vibe. His songwriting is incredible, so much wiser than his tender years. Capturing the belief that money can bring happiness but rarely does. It conveys the story of hardship, desire, mistakes, and a constant struggle to not screw up. The battle against life's hedonistic, unrealistic dreams.
Shifting genres Gavin flawlessly combines simple acoustics with folk and country undertones alongside stunning raw blues and grand upbeat rock n roll. His vocals are captivating, soulful yet gritty while the guitars are bursting with catchy riffs and uptempo chords. I'm a big fan of harmonicas, such an under-appreciated instrument, its addition on 'Millions' adds a contrasting darkness.
'Millions' is a very real, thought-inducing lyric backed with gorgeous uplifting, catchy tones. Drawing influence from things he witnesses in his local area Gavin has perfectly encapsulated a true American feel. Don't be fooled by his younger age, this lad has more talent than a lot of the pros!
