Victor V. Gurbo’s latest track, “All The Pretty Girls,” is a compelling mix of classic rock and blues that highlights his talent. It has professional production quality and catchy instrumentals which holds the listeners attention until the end. His commanding voice carries the song well and makes it an easy listen.
The idea for “All The Pretty Girls” came to him after hearing about his friends rebound attempt following a breakup that led them to sitting at a bar all night feeling sad. Gurbo took this somewhat mundane and melancholy situation and turned it into a satirical commentary on love with his clever lyrics. The phrase “all the pretty girls are asleep tonight” represents finding temporary comfort in others, not only does it make for a great hook but also serves as food for thought.
A revivalist of roots music with an Americana twist Gurbo’s storytelling deserves more credit especially showcased in this single “All The Pretty Girls”. Not only is this song fun but it also points out how ironic it is that we try to distract ourselves from pain by seeking pleasure elsewhere. Victor and his band continue to pay tribute to American musical traditions while giving them their own modern spin which creates nostalgia as well as freshness in every piece they perform together.
