While not releasing any singles ahead of the album, Stevie 808 is thrilled to share details about ‘Black Ice’, a track from this upcoming 12-song collection.
With this magical masterpiece, Stevie 808 collaborated with one of his past classmates and friends from Monmouth University.
I know a classic when I hear one, and this definitely ranks up there as one of the most beautiful, emotional, and memorable pop-rock anthems that you could ever wish to listen to. Both Stevie 808 and his collaborator deliver a compelling performance, showcasing such fervent passion with heartfelt appeal.
The intro is warm, laid-back, and inviting, setting an expressive tone for the emotive female vocals as she lays the foundation for the jam. As it progresses, the more it transcends, both in melody and emotions, as the guest female vocalist gives way to Stevie 808’s equally emotion-drenched vocals.
The instrumentation here benefits from excellent production; balancing moments of intensity with mellow, laid-back moments and allowing for the powerful and catchy lyrics to thrive. The driving percussion, punchy drums, colorful guitars, and striking bass provide the ideal backdrop for the performer’s spotlight-stealing vocals, leaving a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to listen to this jam.
‘Black Ice’ will be available with the rest of the album on its release date, a huge testament to the authenticity and emotional depth that Stevie brings to the table.
Simply put, first-class production supports this heartfelt anthem. Keep it here for a real-time update, and check out Stevie’s other single, ‘Way You Move,’ to become acquainted with his unique sound.
