I just discovered the amazing singer-songwriter Ryan Yingst. His new single “Ordinary Means” was a great way to get introduced to his music. There is something raw in his voice that caught me right away. The atmosphere is unique and the acoustic sound gives the song an old-school warmth.
Ryan has a lot of passion for what he does and you can feel that in his vocal performance. I liked how he handles the melody and how his delivery carries the emotions. The vocal melodies are strong and the songwriting is a big reason I kept enjoying the song with every listen. He has talent for building a melody that stays with you.
The song is about beauty getting overlooked when it is found in everyday places, especially when smaller artists spend so much of their lives working on music while trying to make a liiving. I like that idea because it gives the song more meaning. It reminds us to pay attention to the art and people around us instead of deciding what matters by numbers or popularity.
Tbh, I really loved the acoustic instrumentation and the professional production and mixing. This was a good listen. Ryan has one of the best voices I’ve heard, and his songwriting impressed me. He makes music with care and passion, and I’d love to hear more from him in the future.
