Trey Bruce is an artist I just discovered last week and he has a kind of energy and vocal presence that made listening to his music over and over again. His new single “All Americans” is such a pleasure. He lets the lyrics do the job and that suits a track about the way people live alongside one another while fear and mistrust keep getting in the way.
Trey wrote the song years ago, then shaped this version around the same message, communities are dealing with real worries, but hate only makes it harder to understand each other. He asks us to consider compromise and kindness, even when agreement seems out of reach. It’s a timely subject, delivered in everyday language.
The arrangement is rich and gives his voice enough room to shine. The bass, acoustic guitar and synth parts give him a solid backing and the chorus is strong and will get stuck in your head after your first listen. The instrumentation is full of great moments and the vocal melodies are catchy. The production and mixing are professional and keep all the parts clear and balanced.
Trey Bruce puts so much care and passion into his music. His singing sounds confident and his writing is strong. I had a great time listening to this one and I really want to hear more from this amazing artist. Trey Bruce is an artist to watch, my friend. Make sure to follow him!
