Starting with the song’s alluring and pulling chord movements, we can easily see a capable songwriter who is not scared of venturing outside the beaten path with dissonant chord movements, chromatic descending lines, and a mildly jazzy approach to composition.
Delicate and smooth, ‘Rewrite Time’ slow tempo and purposeful song building makes each of the song’s distinct sections sound defined and meaningful, whether we’re talking about the intoxicating, dark and descending chorus, the sensual and bluesy verses, or about the fiery guitar solo that kicks in in the song’s latter half. ‘Rewrite Time’ is wholly engaging, and the minimal mix makes it an easily digestible nugget of a song. Breezy, charismatic, warm, and confident.
