Establishing the mood with a mediative riser and a sublime, orchestral strings arrangement, Mr.Rhame opens Better Tomorrow with the situational prose and a charismatic vocal as he shares the lyrics, “He was lost in the glow, two drinks in, two steps slow, eyes on the ceiling, heart on the floor, staring at his reflection in a plastic cup…”
The song paints a vivid portrait of a man lost in life, something that is quite relatable to men in this day and age. The songwriting is brilliant, and the emotional nature of the soundscape is nothing short of hypnotising.
Fans of Imagine Dragons and Kygo would absolutely be able to connect with what Mr.Rhame is creating. The pop to EDM build is genius and the bass drop is epic, showcasing dynamic and dimensional production skills. This is also inspired by the artist’s love for Linkin Park!
The second verse builds the narrative of the track and further establishes the lived experience of our protagonist, before another epic drop. In essence, the message invites us to let it go and move forward, it is healing and cathartic overall.
We learn that Mr.Rhame is dedicated to sharing his artistry with the world through offering a glimpse into his personal struggles and triumphs. He is reminding us to seize the day and wants to create a legacy worth remembering. He says, “I wrote this to remind myself to look forward”. Mr.Rhame adds on a more personal note, “After 13 years of medication against anxiety, I’m finally free and trying to cope with all my emotions again.”
We are obsessed with the instrumentation and the dynamic that manifests with the track, including an epic outro that leaves us yearning for more. Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Better Tomorrow to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Mr.Rhame, including Adventures, and Silver Skies.
