There is an understated elegance about the song “I Hear” and while that can be associated with its blues quality, the production and execution leave nothing to be desired. Saxony surrenders an emotional resonance with the lyrics and vocal delivery so that it feels like a listener has been allowed unrestrained access into the soul. The cadence is somewhat soothing, and the instrumental backdrop hits right at home. And for a band that prides itself on always being original, inimitable, and emotionally relatable, it is no surprise that they can conjure up such a radio-friendly anthem.
My best moments from the song have to be those incredible guitar solos as the song progresses. That is an excellent display of awe-inspiring guitar showmanship, adding color, depth, and polish to an already refined song.
“I Hear” has an impeccable structure; there is a seamless blend of precise and straight-to-the-point drums with striking bass and subtly driving riffs that gurgle underneath, setting the ideal backdrop for the self-assured vocals of the lead vocalist, who exudes a soulfully rich demeanor with his exquisite vocals.
Other than that, there is a way his vocals create a certain rhythm to the song—one that you can always resort back to and identify this song with. His delivery is the sort that haunts a listener outside the song, and he is emotional as well.
The song has an accompanying lyrics video that, by any standards, is an eye treat—the visuals are on point, with some scenic visuals that seamlessly transition, showcasing the opulence in nature, be it the natural forest and cover, the eye-catching mountains and moon at night, the sea and ocean as the water crashes against each other, evoking a clash of waves as the song’s lyrics float over this visual treat like they were meant to be.
The lyrics video feels like an extension to the music itself as if the dancing images and lyrics are speaking the same language, and it is what keeps a listener engaged throughout its length.
“I Hear” most definitely exudes an irresistible nostalgia that you cannot miss and one that is reminiscent of some of the best blues rock bands of all time.
