He goes by the alias OneNamedPeter, singer/songwriter Peter from Sussex, England is promising a project of what he refers to as opposition to “crowd-pleasing music” which he hopes people will listen to. Although not your typical celeb talk OneNamedPeter actually has a story behind this project, stories unhidden about his other projects and his “Awfully big adventure” as JM Barry’s Peter Pan said, and how he is destined to make his work adventures “I wanted my music to be more adventurous too“ said OneNamedPeter. OneNamedPeter presents “PAN” which is set to be released on 25/11/22.
The experimental melodies and the multi-culturally influenced percussions are the album’s main bases. The album opener is “Heart of Stone” the song starts in an ambient atmosphere with an escalating drum machine that gives the song a new mood giving room for the guitar to come in followed by Peter’s expressive vocals saying “you never answer when I talk to you” setting the theme of a man who loves a statue and is not loved back by it. Many songs in the album are piano-based such as “Blue Boy”, “scorched earth”, “Never Never”, and “wings”.
Blue boy is built upon a heartfelt piano line accompanied by sad cello and guitar OneNamedPeter talks about a boy who feels out of place and unsure of himself. While the song “Let It Rain” is an acoustic guitar-driven song fueled by a melodic bass line and atmospheric strings. “The lost boys” is a Rhodes-based song with strange fx and progressive drum beats all over it. “Alchemy” is powered by a swelling guitar that gives a chemical-infused feeling to it and a tabla beat grounding it and as a great finale, an uplifting synth-based song “Under Your skin” leaves the listener with an adventurous trip, flavored with echoed guitar and piano lines.
