‘Keep the World Alive’ is a song that reflects on the Coronavirus pandemic and how life used to be so different before the pandemic. The track is a country inspired track and it has quite a relaxed feel to it with the acoustic guitar backing with simple string section. I really like how the strident strings are used to create some movement within the song as well as creating some melodic interest. Brian’s warm country vocal glides seamlessly over the accompaniment and I like how he uses his full vocal range and tone. Also gotta say I love the opening like of the song "remember when corona was just a beer"
Fun fact in 2015 Brian had a hit with the track ‘Broken Heartstrings’ which went to #8 on the AC Charts US and went top 25 on german iTunes resulting in a sellout show across Germany. Overall this is a really great song with a message that everyone can relate to in some shape or form. If you love country/ acoustic music or need to listen to something new and different to what’s on the charts then you’ll love Brian’s new track ‘Keep the World Alive’. </p>
