Rob Eberle is one of those artists who knows exactly where the sweet spot is between rock and pop and indie music, and that is where we find him with his latest single, “Signal Fades.”
How you approach the song will dictate what you notice first. It might be the delicate, singer-songwriter vibe that the song starts in, it could be the more indie sonics that shimmer and chime around it as it transitions, or it could be the beat and energy as the song moves up a gear and skirts more rock and roll territory.
Once all these moving parts have been established, Rob cleverly shifts between one or the other at will, ebbing and flowing with the sonic tide, rising or falling, to keep the dynamic interesting and the audience engaged.
This, of course, is the art of making popular, chart-friendly music for the modern audience, especially if you want to make a name for yourself as someone doing more than just running through the same tried and tested moves as everyone else. And so here, we find him wandering all over the center and most accessible region of the modern, post-genre musical map, and the result is a song that is finessed and fun, accessible and infectious, mellifluous and melodic, hazy and harmonic.
Poised pop perfection.
