Single Review – 1000 Faces – Randy Montana

14 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Single Review – 1000 Faces – Randy Montana

Randy Montana spent much of last year on the road and from the ‘Van Cam’ webisodes it was already obvious he was not interested in being just your average everday new artist. New single ‘1000 Faces’ confirms this with gusto.

Starting off slow and acoustic, ‘1000 Faces’ explains there are many different kinds of people but the guy in the song only has eyes for one and always knew that was the type of person he would be with. Drums and guitars come in and the song finally opens up with a guitar ruccus after the second chorus only to quickly float back to sleepy piano. A long echo-y outro completes this ambitious tune.

Next to the intricate arrangement, the most interesting thing about this song is Randy’s accomplished vocals. Somewhere between Tim McGraw and Charles Kelley, he both handles the quiet parts and is able to compete with the big production when it gets loud.

This country-influenced soft rock song is a good introduction to Randy Montana’s music and is the title track of his new EP about which you can read more here.
