The latest song from Italian rock singer-songwriter Liv Crash is entitled “Wonderland” and is one of those songs that magically bridge the gap between nostalgic and modern rock styles. The song has Liv playing lead guitar and vocals and the lyrics were written by him as well.
The track begins with some blues-y rimshots and a funky clean guitar tone that starts and stops perfectly with the drum beats. Liv’s brightly-toned playful vocals begin telling the story of how he “wants to go to wonderland” in an attitude and style that are so nostalgic to the 70s and 80s- an element that beautifully contrasts the modern and polished production the track has.
Moreover, there are backing female vocals that feel inspired by RnB/Soul and make the lyrics feel like they came out of a movie soundtrack or theater play…it’s got so much comic relief that you will actually visualize the lyrics as you listen to them. Another great element that made the song the way it is is Liv’s clear pronunciation and the way he emphasizes certain words and sings/speaks others softly, he’s a true master of his craft.
The song has a nice guitar solo that’s pretty lengthy and is followed by a section that goes harder and a bit heavier than those before it, the vocals will truly reach their full extent when you listen to that part. Overall, this is a song that I recommend to pretty much any fan of Rock, Blues, or Funk because of its amazing vocals and how it has no trouble making ends meet.
