Australian band New Empire is definitely garnering a lot of attention for their pop rock music. Their new album In a Breath is out today via Tooth & Nail Records. Their style is a blend of pop and alternative rock, complete with energetic songs brimming with catchy choruses and emotionally driven lyrics. This album is definitely a must have and is filled with songs for your every mood.
The album starts off with what might be my favorite song, the emotionally stirring Tale of Jonah. It captures such a vulnerability in the vocals that soothes you. Then the next track The Sun Won’t Sleep sets in and is truly like sunshine on your face, you can’t help but feel alive and it has a great catchy chorus. The first time I heard Relight the Fire, the vocals instantly grabbed my attention. It reminded me of the way my favorite singer, John Waite could express such emotion in his tones. It is a beautiful track. With songs like Say It Like You Mean It and Left Behind with their edgier vibes, you can’t help but let the melodies take over you and move around. Check out the video for Say It Like You Mean It here:
In A Breath reminds us all of the pain we feel through loss or missing someone. Just as you are grasping your emotions of loss, the group/choir style chorus comes in wraps around you as a comforting hug. You can’t help but feel peace and serenity rise from the song and is very heart warming. Fallen Soldiers has an infectious harmony and honestly raw vocals that feed your soul, creating a very heartfelt ballad. A Little Braver gives you that glimmer of hope that you need to make it through your life challenges and obstacles, quite an inspiring track and once again the honesty in the lyrics shine through the vocals.
The album is definitely a pop musical treasure that is comparable to The Fray, The Script, Coldplay, etc. There is one thing they all have in common; they have created beautiful well crafted music wrapped in catchy harmonies, infectious melodies, honest lyrics and passionate vocals. New Empire has done just that with In a Breath.
