Ben Maier - Power/Energy


April 26, 2018

Warning. Guaranteed chills! From the first seconds, we are seduced by the very convincing and powerful voice of Ben Maier. The rhythm sets in, and makes your heart beat a little faster. When the chorus comes, at 0:55, it's an explosion. Your heart runs off and it becomes difficult to catch up. Ben managed to bring chills very quickly in the song. At IMC, we're pretty used to an explosive finale, where all the strong emotions are gathered at the end. Well, not here. We take a lot of emotions in our ears from beginning to end. The song is very well named. We will be honest, we listened to the song for the first time, on Tuesday. Since then, we have it in our head. And for an artist, it's all won! About the lyrics, there is everything to please us. Ben tells us that it's "a love song about kisses under the shelter of highway overpasses, sun-baked tarmac steaming in sudden summer purple rain, driven by roadworn Telecasters and pounding major piano chords and lifted by euphoric synths". Good description. We will add that it's a perfect love declaration. "I've got the power, she's got the energy". On the musical side, you have the impression of rediscovering a good old classic of the late 80s, with both a modern side. If you liked Talk Talk or Bruce Springsteen at the time, and you loved The Killers in the 2Ks, this song is for you. It's available on Spotify, iTunes, and Soundcloud.
