Great melodies, fantastic guitars and some pretty damn good vocals. “In A Heartbeat” by Shaky is timeless — the kind of music that never truly goes out of fashion. As long as there’s an audience for compelling, catchy alternative pop-rock, there will be an audience for bands like Shaky. And I wouldn’t have it any other way because I genuinely love Shaky’s new single.
Although Shaky is a one-man band rather than a four- or five-piece outfit, “In a Heartbeat” sounds like the real deal. Unless you were told otherwise, you’d assume this was a full band —that’s how authentic it sounds. The guitar-driven production is excellent: I love the dry drum sound, and there are just enough keyboards to lift the track without tipping it into an 80s pop-rock circus. In other words, it’s a tasteful, well-balanced production that feels modern while retaining a classic edge.
Fans of 90s pop-rock, or bands like Rooney and Green Day, will treasure this release. It’s as simple as that. “In a Heartbeat” is a brilliant record.
