Know the times you stay up until like 5am playing a video game from ’93 and then wake up at 9am just because you’ll feel bad for sleeping any later? Welcome to my Monday everyone, nice to see you. After a couple of hours of a zombie like state and discussing my personal life with my new found therapist/friend, I put on Stacy Clark’s Symmetry and honestly didn’t know what to expect. I have so much on my plate that when I say I’ll do a review, I rarely preview it beforehand – so I was jumping into this airy pop blind.
I felt like maybe I stumbled upon something like Christina Perri – that mature pop that 20-30-somethings really dig. It’s radio friendly enough, but still has this sense of not being too mainstream. “Figured It Out” was a cute sounding track that dealt with a heavier topic while “Days Into Nights” kind of stepped it up in the music department, giving off an even older vibe. Not too much, but just a bit. This is when the Perri comparison clicked in my head. Then you had “Lose My Mind” with a lyric I can relate oh too well to, “seeing you makes me lose my mind.” In case that person reads this, I do have to hide the Facebook chat box thing to not see your face, because as much as I hate you – I want you. Anyways, that track seemed to be the love child of the first two, making it Hannah Montana – the best of both worlds. That’s really just the surface of what to expect from this record though.
It was short and sweet and a record fans of singer songwriters with an extra bounce in their step could really sink their teeth into. Go ahead, taste the music. So taste it and get involved with it very, very soon. Stacy Clark’s Symmetry drops July 22nd, so no excuses about forgetting!
