I Panic, the brainchild of songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Marcel van Tetering, has once again taken listeners on an 80’s nostalgic ride with his latest single “Marry You”. Hailing from Alphen aan den Rijn in the Netherlands, Marcel was born and raised in a record store which greatly influenced his unique sound that he describes as “alternative theatrical rock”. He draws inspiration from the likes of Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, and David Bowie.
In “Marry You,” Marcel conveys a heartfelt message of appreciation and love towards his partner, while also expressing his fear of losing what they have by getting married. The song features sweet and melodic piano lines, overdrive guitar, Hammond organ in the background, and dynamic drum and bass lines that set a ballad atmosphere. The lyrics are painted over the music by Marcel’s flawless voice in a theatrical vocal line, capturing the emotions of the song while completing the whole picture.
“Marry You” is a beautiful love letter that showcases I Panic‘s unique sound. The combination of the 80’s nostalgic vibe and Marcel’s theatrical style makes for a truly memorable listening experience. Fans of alternative rock, ballads, and theatrical music will not want to miss out on this masterpiece.
