Lara Price returns with a vivacious and edgy new classic and alternative rock banger and it comes with a lot of attitude and seriously hits that nostalgic hard rock approach with an overlaying guitar hook that's sitting on top of a crunchy rhythm and guitar tone and the entire thing comes through super driving and catchy.
"Migraines" comes through packing a punch right off the bat as it hits with a great ref and the way the track is put together an even mixed also builds on that hard rock aesthetic from the late 70s and early '80s era of music when that genre was pretty much at its best if you ask me.
The reason this hits me so well is because it's derived from those kinds of influences, and you can hear those flowing through the veins of this track, but it also has a new approach to it as well so her presence on the track really shines through.
The track packs a great punch, and Lara is known for sort of letting loose on her tracks but also for expanding in her styles and approaches.
She always comes through with a heavy-handed rock soundscape and she knows exactly the kind of guitar tones she needs to help that drive push the envelope and on top of all that, she always knows the kind of attitude and swagger that she needs to lay down her vocals so that it matches the energy of the track itself, and this happens every song.
As you might be able to tell, we're not really strangers to allow a price in her music and have had the pleasure of jamming out to summer for previous releases and I could definitely tell you that this track reaches a little bit farther back in that era and decade of heavy rock.
The '70s, the '80s, those are errors of hard and heavy rock music that really let the genre explode into different directions, but Lara takes aim at being able to combine some of the more edgy and heavier music with elements of Pat Benatar or Blondie even at times.
This is not only sort of nostalgic, but it showcases how she's able to take those different influences in her life and music and bring them to the Forefront with the different songs that she releases.
The guitar work on this track is really awesome because as I mentioned earlier, there is this overlying sort of guitar hook that comes right in the beginning of the song, so you get that hook in the intro and that reels you right in.
This is important because with classic hard rock music, especially the songs that were on the radio, there was always a musical hook to go along with that chorus.
A guitar lick if you will that really lets the song Stand Tall and another section of the track that you end up remembering in your head after the song ends.
This was always a signifier that this was the song you were listening to. You know that guitar hook and you know what's going to happen next.
I missed this formula and I'm so glad that Lara was able to really bring that back and make it work in today's platform by bringing in those classic influences and letting them shine the way they are supposed to.
So, this was formatted and arranged super well but it's really the heart and the honesty that comes through with a lot of Lara's music that gets you hooked. Including this song of course.
This track has a bit of an aggressive approach to an extent but that adds to the attitude and the Swagger of her vocals and the character that the song portrays which is completely nailed.
Lara Price is definitely that artist that, if you like one song, you're going to like all of them. Hands down.
So, when you check this track out and you get a vibe for her great heavy classic, hard rock approach, you're going to be delighted at her other releases like "Heat or Eat" released last year along with "Mind Blocks".
Both of those songs show slightly different sides to how she does her thing and her influences as well, but she lets those out perfectly.
This was a catchy, heavy, and charismatic single and those are the staples of Lara's music along with, as I mentioned earlier, bringing in those classic hard rock influences so that everything feels super authentic, and that aesthetic is there the entire time.
When I say the aesthetic, I mean that all the little elements are there from that guitar lick to the tone of the rhythm guitars, the way the vocals are done, and how the song is mixed with hints of this sort of reverb effect that lets the song feel like it was actually from the '80s in a way.
Now, I'm not saying she does every aspect of this on purpose, but I feel like she does.
I feel like she has an idea for a song and lays out every aspect of it the way that she knows best so the vision that's in her head ends up coming to fruition and it probably is as close to that vision as it will ever get.
This of course is also because Laura herself is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist so she's probably doing a lot of the stuff that we're hearing on the song.
Check this track out and then check out her other songs too because again, if you dig this one, you'll love them all.
Remember where you heard it first.
