Hembree and Savanna Ruth Reviewed
Hembree – Options
The good news is that, indeed, as you predicted, you are very much the product. That’s also the bad news, and for as long as the economic system that currently governs most of our lives, it’ll be the thing that you’ll have to fight off and, secretly, treasure.
There’s no comfort without a bit of commerce. A bit of commerce, typically, turns into a lot of it. Commerce usually leads to corruption. In turn, that makes the comemrcial avenues break down and gets people upset. What follows is anger, rebellion and, sadly, military conflicts. And all of the last parts are, no doubt, worse than being sold vitamins on the television.
Still, at this very moment, you’re exhausted from having to choose. Hembree knows that and is looking to deliver a dance-rock anthem to help you shake some of those worries away. In fact, “Options” is here to remind you that not being able to pick anymore is just natural. There’s too much of everything; most of it doesn’t mean a thing, and Hembree’s beat, somehow, makes sense of all of that.
Savanna Ruth – Everything We Made
Listen, I love to think that all my troubles, the terrible ones and the routine stuff, as well, are something that nobody has ever encountered. This all makes me feel good about not being able to find a solution to all of my woes just yet. However, in the few times when I do still apply logic, I realise that this sort of thinking is nonsense. It’s all happened before.
The times they are a-changing, but not really! Yes, with the benefit of so much history to draw from, the modern world’s working hard to create modern ways to live life. Are they all as good as they are being advertised? Can you eat cake, enjoy yoga, be in a polyamorous relationship and maintain your sanity as well? Savanna Ruth would like a word, please.
The singer-songwriter is honest about her experiences and able to allow her unfiltered emotion to inform the music of “Everything We Made.” The result is a dramatic rock tune with a hint of 90s nostalgia, and lyrics about the melancholy of choosing to take a romantic affair into a modern, progressive direction, only to have yourself yearn for familiarity. The important problems have a way of repeating.
