A stirring rock sound shines on “Moment,” a recent track from Charlie Boyle. “This is a song about time slipping through your fingers in life while feeling lost and confused in the process,” he says. A dynamic tonal range shows quickly — venturing seamlessly from ardent guitar pulses into a dreamy, jangling intrigue as the chilly vocals emerge.
A particularly enveloping sequence takes hold upon the impassioned vocal soaring past the first minute, exhilarating in its unbridled emotion — “what am I doing, I ask again” — with fervent captivation reminiscent of Manic Street Preachers. The “best to take it slow” dreamier urgings follow seamlessly thereafter, continuing to strut a grippingly eclectic atmospheric reach — from serene introspection to rousing rock heights, “Moment” is a thorough success from Charlie Boyle.
