Drawing us in with a fierce guitar soundscape and timeless alternative rock energy, Broken Romeo open Stay with Me with the introspective prose, “We can’t go on, if we only knew, all the dreams we followed, still our life’s in hollow…”
The opus expands with intentional and philosophical depth, as Broken Romeo share their soul, reality and perspective with us. The chord changes are transcendental, and we appreciate the ebbs and flows of the track, with an out of this world guitar solo and captivating hooks.
The instrumental performances, particularly the guitar interlude, hold an electrifying energy. They showcase technical prowess, weaving intricate melodies and blistering riffs, resulting in a sense of exhilaration and awe that washes over us.
The solo serves as a showcase of virtuosity and creativity, pushing the boundaries of expression, amplifying the sonic journey of Stay with Me. With each bend, slide, and hammer-on, the band pour every iota of their being into the composition, conveying a range of emotions.
Stay with Me demonstrates a raw and emotive sound, offering a cathartic release with its message, manifesting profound emotional benefits for both the band and listeners. The intense energy and impassioned vocals invite us to connect with dramatic themes, providing a channel for expressing and processing the complex emotions brought to life by the narrative of the song. The anthemic choruses inspire a sense of liberation and freedom, empowering us to break free from constraints and embrace our most authentic selves.
We learn that Broken Romeo features James Turpin and Steve Turpin on lead vocals and guitars,
whilst Ari Sloane shares a dimensional bassline and Matt Ringnell slays on the drums. The band’s upcoming album, Infirmus Orbis, and they confess that the record is inspired by “pandemics, unrest and dirty politics”.
It is no surprise that the band has already received a Tammie award in the Rock category, and have shared the stage with many national acts. We love what Broken Romeo are creating, and have added Stay with Me to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the band’s wider discography, and anticipate the release of Infirmus Orbis.
