Drive Alone is a drop-dead gorgeous, driving, minimalistic ballad that’s far deeper than how it seems at first glance.
From the beautiful city of Provo, Utah, Carson Ferris is just twelve years old, and already with a blossoming music career that seems to be on a steady upwards trajectory. Having started his guitar playing at six years old, and having been singing since he started to speak, Carson seems to be destined to make music, and when you take to listen to his latest single, titled Drive Alone, and read the little story behind it, you’ll easily be able to identify that you are in presence of a budding talent.
Drive Alone is an emotional, driving pop ballad, with bittersweet progressions, and passionate melodies. Carson’s heartfelt delivery and vocalizing are fresh and inventive, and they showcase his talent. The production is a steady support system for Carson’s sound, sounding tight, controlled, neat, and concise, and with a fair share of adventure in terms of synth sounds, and how the one-progression composition was utilized to serve song sections that sound completely different. Drive alone has a deceptive depth to its composition and arrangement.
A song about finding one’s own road in life, being in full control of where one wants to be, and exactly how they reach that destination, Drive Alone is a beautiful pop ballad with tight beats, sweet melodies, and a compelling sound that calls for endless repeats.
