I had this one on while walking back from the store, headphones half on, cars passing, nothing special going on and it still pulled me in fast. “Boom” by Chandra leans right into that mix of pop hooks and straight-up rock energy they’ve been building, but this time it feels a bit tighter, like they trimmed the extra and kept what hits. The guitars do most of the talking early on. They’re clean, bright and with just enough bite.
The chorus is simple, easy to latch onto and I caught myself replaying it before the song even ended the first time. There’s something about the way the melody loops back on itself that makes you want to stay there a little longer.
The voice of the frontman Chandra Nair carries the whole thing with confidence. Not overdone, not trying to show off. It’s just steady and sure. It fits the track in a great way, especially when the band opens things up behind him. The bass and drums keep things grounded, nothing flashy, just doing their job and letting the song move.
It’s a short track with really good lyrics and melodies. I ran it back a few times without thinking, and that says more than anything else. I’ll be honest here. I didn’t expect to keep coming back to it like this, but I did. And I probably will again.
