Establishing the mood with an enigmatic, atmospheric keys performance, Blueprint Tokyo open Stand and Deliver with an ethereal, expansive energy as they share the evocative prose, “If I call, don’t worry to answer, don’t bother to tell her how you feel…”
The opus evolves with intention and introspection, and we appreciate the immersive nature of the vocal design, as well as the emotional nuance that we experience and Blueprint Tokyo‘s poetic genius.
Textured drums and a cerebral sub-bass draw us in further, as the duo from Oklahoma City take us on a dynamic adventure. The accompanying guitar performance is exquisite, and the composition showcases nothing short of instrumental mastery.
Creators Kevin Dawson and Andy Hale confess, “We’ve been raising the stakes with each release both expanding our prowess as musicians and songwriters.”
They continue, “We bring a lot of different influences into our sound and really love being able to share our experiences with others. Stand and Deliver serves as a new jumping off point for us musically as continue to release new music and hit the road.”
With reference to the message of the song, the duo say, “It’s all about looking within. We have relationships on the surface but end up longing for something more profound. It’s easier to have those types of relationships when we’re young, but as we age, we become more guarded about our feelings.”
We love how Blueprint Tokyo and find their sound inspiring and refined. Stand and Deliver has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the talented duo’s wider discography, and anticipate future releases from the stars.
