Seahaven has released the greatest song in the history of their entire career. Â “Love to Burn”, a lovely ballad, has shown that the band has expanded their horizons and as soon as I listened to the first thirty seconds of this song, I knew that there was a reason I was so obsessed with this band.
First off, Kyle Soto’s voice in the beginning is just stunning. Â It’s deep and controlled and gorgeous. Â When he switches to a higher register, we get the iconic sound all of us are used to, of his unique and haunting voice. Â When it switches back, it feels so natural and I’ve never heard him sing like that before, but I’m blown away by it. Â It’s so gentle and soft, laid back and the transition back and forth between the two styles of singing work so well with the composition of the song. Â It’s layered and the bass is phenomenal. Â There’s so many different components to this song, making it a song that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Â The guitars are powerful and when the tune picks up instrumentally, there’s some strings in there that gives this a feel that no other Seahaven song has. Â It feels so expansive and I love it. Â It ceases, leaving us with the echoes of the noise, Soto’s voice, and the driving drums with miming guitar.
Overall, it’s by far an absolute masterpiece and it totally threw me for a loop. Â I can’t believe how they’ve added new elements to their sound and how well it all fits together. Â It has an orchestral vibe, and feels like a good song to drive around at night playing at full blast with all the windows down in the middle of summer. Â I have goosebumps, even listening to it for the millionth time.
Seahaven has done it again- exceeded expectations, and consistently impressed me.
