Paradise, Newfoundland and Labrador Mar 8, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - Introducing a potentially massive pop-fusion hit, Summer Bennett showcases the power of musicianship, with her unique talents that naturally complement one another. The soundtracks follow a simple, spacious groove of nostalgic rhythms and a reggaeton pulse, and on the top layer add subtly enticing world-music melody lines and a humble, nearly spoken modern vocal. It's an easy arrangement, one that utilizes only the most essential building blocks, and as such provides an impressive example of stripped-back artistry and genre-fusing freedom. Produced to be distinct but also well-written from a popular music or earworm perspective, 'Just A Phase' resolves consistently to the repeating sentiments. That hook section uplifts, simple and recognizable as it weaves its way into your headspace. There's a hypnotic quality to this set-up, the humility of the style, and the clear catchy presence of the hook uniting to hit with mild but memorable impact, and these distinguishable strengths reach out with conviction across the entirety of her music.
Well, Summer Bennett is a 16-year-old singer-songwriter from Paradise, Newfoundland who won the 2021 MusicNL New Found Talent Contest. Her first release from that prize pack "Carsick" (May 20th, 2022) won a 2022 Arts & Letters award in the Junior Music category and was recently listed as one of the top 125 songs in the 2022 CBC Toyota Searchlight competition. Summer has also been selected as one of fifteen female artists across Canada into the HoneyJam program for emerging artists. Summer has been singing since she started speaking and has a long childhood history of winning awards for her singing and songwriting, as well as awards in acting and musical theatre performances. Whether the majestic singer's creations like 'Sirens' lead with deeply moving choirs of voices or a simple and more characterful single lead, the surrounding music can either elevate or flatten a performance and with everything Summer touches, the former is categorically true.
The chord pattern offers a simple rise and fall progression, two chords elevated by a strong bass line and a jazz-kissed long-form vocal melody. The verses meander through stormy scenes, the melody adding a kind of organic and unpredictable twist, which paves the way well toward the easy repeat of the hook. The humble hooks are not intrusive but quietly resolving and ultimately presenting a hint of optimism at the final hurdle. Humility is a consistent trait of the musician, an artist with Scilly Cove Records, with a genuine live sound and the work ethic to back that up. When good songwriting and real musicianship unite, it almost always makes for a worthy listening experience. Several other tracks by the singer like 'Carsick' and 'Rust' are available on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. You can follow the artist on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and her website to learn more about her upcoming music.
