Drawing us in with bass guitar luck and a charming, upbeat rhythmic guitar riff with astral tones and textured drums, The Proper Hustlers open All Along with a hypnotic timbre as they share the words, “Same words but different tone, same feeling but it’s grown, shame it took so much time…”
The opus showcases metaphorical depth and manifests a cinematic allure, making the track perfect for a Hollywood synch deal with similar themes to the prose. We appreciate the high emotional quotient and the masterful instrumentation.
It is dimensional and dynamic at the same time, keeping us enthralled throughout the sublime journey that we are being taken on. We can indeed hear the band’s soul, and appreciate the dreamy universe that they create with luscious female harmonies. Fans of Bruno Mars might also be able to connect with its mainstream appeal.
All Along boasts poetic prowess and we learn that the song was written by Ethan Stauffer – the frontman, guitarist, and lead vocalist of The Proper Hustlers. The wider band includes Alicia Paxson on vocals, Carter Fox on bass, Joe Kenney on keys, and Chris Fox on drums.
The guitar solo is simply transcendental and we deeply appreciate the raw musicianship and optimistic message that they bring to life at a time when we need it the most! The tempo shift for the outro is also extremely refined.
The band tells us how All Along is the second single release on their forthcoming debut studio EP, Front Door is Open. Naturally, we have added All Along to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream The New Letter, and anticipate the remainder of the album!
