We have developed quite the obsession with The Project, having featured a slew of their singles over the last year or so, including the meticulous and timeless, All I Ever Needed, as well as the nostalgic, no hard feelings, so when we heard that the band was back with Death Of Me, we couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience!
Kicking off with a dynamic, classic rock energy with astral guitars and textured drums, intertwined with a fierce ad lib of “aye”, The Project open Death Of Me with poignant prose as they sing, “All you ever want is my sympathy, you don’t stop until you get what you need, you twist the knife just to see if I’m still alive…”
The opus expands with dimensionality, and poetic prowess that points a finger at the muse of the song and rebuttal, “I won’t ever let you be, let you be the Death Of Me…”. The sound is the perfect pop-punk vibe that fits into the 2000s cinematic niche, where we could imagine the song as the score of a high school movie break up scene or even a comedy horror.
The guitar solo is giving Queen levels of refinement, soaring, out of this world, with a touch of Led Zeppelin. The repeated hook feels like an affirmative mantra in some senses, reminding us that no-one can truly take our power! We too are invited to “draw the line” and make sure that we are indeed in control of our reality!
The Project features an all-star lineup, featuring members from renowned bands such as Face to Face (Dennis Hill), Shameless (James Davis), Eagles of Death Metal (Scott Shiflett), BulletBoys (Jimmy D’Anda), Stephen Pearcy/RATT (Erik Ferentinos), and Lit (Kevin Baldes)! This explains the high quality, timeless output and engineered sonic perfection that their tracks manifest.
Naturally, we will be adding Death Of Me to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist when it comes out on Spotify, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of The Project, and anticipate future releases!
