The opening beats to New Stellar Star’s latest single, gives the listener a feeling of enjoyment and inspiration, an inspiration that follows throughout these 3 newly released singles. Above all Chris Bullock has also learnt to play the game perfectly between musicality and commercialism. Each element that went into these tracks was measured with taste; there’s just the right amount of everything. The singles can be found and downloaded from the NEW STELLAR STAR website.
Awake In You – NSS
New Stellar Star (Chris Bullock) has already captured the art of composing radio ready rock songs, and since we reviewed his last album, Chris has got even better.
‘Awake In You’ grabs all the time tested clichés; waves of sweeping guitar chords, urgent, pressure cooker verses and searing choruses above a driving drumbeat. Chris has adopted the flair for commercial craft, knowing how to hit the sweet spot between the mundane and melodic.
New Stellar Star works are usually mixed by Mike Brylinski (Goo Goo Dolls), who knows exactly how to recreate those tight heart-rendering productions. The single can be found and downloaded from the NEW STELLAR STAR website.
Save Me Today – NSS
“Save Me Today” and was written and produced by Chris Bullock & mixed by Mike Brylinski (Goo Goo Dolls). It is a moody melodic rock song with big driving sing along choruses, featuring textured rhythm guitar and epic lead riffs.
Vocally, Chris moves across the Bon Jovi / Guns and Roses territory, with a sure-fire throaty delivery that makes this genre so endearing to rock lovers. It has its own unique sound though, and would be great for relaxing with your loved one or on your own, whilst gathering your thoughts. This song has got hit potential written all over it. The single can be found and downloaded from the NEW STELLAR STAR website.
Frozen In Time – NSS
The newest single Frozen In Time was written and produced by Chris Bullock mixed by Mike Brylinski (Goo Goo Dolls). Frozen In Time also features Goo Goo Dolls keyboardist Korel Tunador. This is a Nashville influenced acoustic driven pop/rock song reminiscent of Bon Jovi and Daughty. The song is about finding yourself stuck inside a moment in time and the struggle to move forward, through that experience, while still keeping your head above water.
Like Bon Jovi on their album “Lost Highway”, New Stellar Star also walk the country-influenced rock tightrope. And they do it with similar ease.
The song is a well-crafted, with some good playing, great singing, some sharp lyrics and a catchy tune. The single can be found and downloaded from the NEW STELLAR STAR website.
