Alwyn Morrison is back with a new single called “Puzzle Piece”. He is not a new name for me. I’ve followed his music before and even written about it many times. So there’s already a sense of familiarity when this song starts playing. That history changes how I listen and I find myself paying closer attention to how he continues shaping his sound.
The song carries that 80s rock sound with guitar lines that move in a steady way. There’s also a light pop touch in the melodies and that gives the song an easy flow. He’s not forcing anything and you can notice that everything sits in place and moves forward at a comfortable pace.
His voice is where a lot of the feeling comes through. It sounds rich and powerful. His voice carried the song perfectly. The chorus is amazing and opens things up and gives the song a lift that makes it easy to replay. The production is polished and each part has space. The guitars, bass and rhythm all work together and don’t take attention away from the core of the song. It’s the kind of setup that lets the song speak for itself.
I’ve followed his work for a while so you can trust me when I say that he is an artist who deserves to stay on your radar. I really like his passion and this new song fits right into his style. It’s like another step in the direction he’s building. Honestly, this is the kind of track I’ll keep coming back to. It’s familiar and holds something unique that makes me want to hear it again.
