“Fool’s Gold” is an impactful new track from Sacramento-based artist Isaac Vino, who achieves a lushly melodic emotion with this standout release. Alongside producer Ben Malito, Isaac Vino crafts an atmospheric structural unveiling, drawing especially from his Tame Impala and Coldplay influences. A soulful pop production shines alongside lyrical themes of loss, personal pain, and the complexities within human emotion.
Suave guitars emit a lush appeal throughout the track, while Isaac Vino’s vocals wander with hazy introspection. “Fantasy in my head, devils in my bed,” his vocals let out, with reflective backings bolstering the soulful aesthetic. The “golden child” sequence is especially enthralling, with spacey synth illumination and tender guitar flourishes culminating in the powerful “you’re the smoking gun…” declaration. An additional guitar twang arrives in the final minute, pairing with the smooth vocal layers for a wholly sating send-off. “Fool’s Gold” is a consuming success from Isaac Vino.
