Mavrick
Atlantis
Universal Music
Mavrickโs Atlantis is a melodically interesting album because of how simple and clean it is. There isnโt anything too messy or noisy in it, but that being said, simple doesnโt mean boring. Itโs raw, emotional, and soulful with lyrics anyone can relate to.
Unlike many musicians, music wasnโt initially a large aspect of Marcus Sennewaldโs life until he was a teen when a friend of his returned home as a sound engineer. This led to him meeting several songwriters and even his manager, who helped get him started in the music scene. His single โRemedyโ caught the attention of Apple Beatโs Zane Lowe who demanded more new songs from Mavrick.
The album features a nice mix of fun songs thatโll get you dancing and some that are more mellow to enjoy on a rainy day. Although itโs a little short, it still gives a lot to the audience. The lyrics are thoughtful, the songs are catchy, and thereโs a good combination of electronic beats and physical instruments.
Atlantis opens up strong with the catchy โLet It Burn.โ Right from the beginning, it catches the audienceโs attention and works as a great hook to get them interested. It features a buildup with multiple voices chanting in the chorus accompanied by an electronic beat underneath it. Itโs one of the songs that really sticks out on the album because of how much fun it is.
โKeep Calmโ is the song that really sticks out on Atlantis. Not only is it catchy and emotional, but itโs loud, proud, and overall just a great feel-good song. It opens up with vocalists belting out their chords in unity. It serves as a great reminder that when things get tough to keep on truckinโ by keeping calm and holding your head up. It would have been nice to put it at the end to wrap everything together full circle, but it still works where it is.
Whatโs also great about Atlantis is that each song sounds different from the next, but they still flow well together and donโt sound choppy when going from one to the other, which isnโt an easy task.
Atlantis is a great album for Pop fans who arenโt into Top 40 or people who are looking to make a Sunday Morning Vibes playlist.
