‘Summer Breeze’ is one of those celebratory albums that’s over really fast but makes you want to keep it on repeat. There’s just enough change throughout it to hold your attention and it has that “oh I like this” hook to make sure you’re still listening 2…3…4 times later. Go, pick up this album. Gregor McEwan is a unique brand of singer-songwriter who approaches his now honed craft in a fun-filled and playful manner that is infectious in every way. An accomplished artist, he has released several albums and become a figurehead in his homeland of Germany, touring around the country with his heartfelt yet upbeat dosage of acoustic indie pop.
Moving with the times, Gregor came up with the notion to write a body of work reflecting on each of the four seasons in the year, his latest excerpt being ‘Summer Breeze’. Just like the weather, Gregor has channeled his energy into making the lead and title track from the EP just as warm and wonderful as that sunshine on your face on a hot summer day. ‘Summer Breeze’ is pure emotion and melancholy at its absolute finest, and you can feel the joy and energy in Gregor’s vocals. Talking about the EP, Gregor explains, “Summer Breeze is a happy-go-lucky Indie Pop summer tune. Maybe it kinda sounds like The Kooks meets Ash meets The Beach Boys…”
With buckets of hope and optimism loaded into these four songs, the EP’s celebratory mood makes for the perfect soundtrack to those brighter days ahead of us. Accompanied by a wonderful female vocal throughout to provide that perfect balance, the track is effortlessly chilled and radiant with spirit and enthusiasm which will inundate the listeners with happiness and positivity.
