With a neat production, powerful vocals, and an even more powerful message, LA-based rocker Eddie Cohn releases his new single Stop Waving The Gun. The song is an awareness call on gun violence and the irresponsible way people wave their guns at one another in the USA, and how Eddie is fed up with it.
From a lyrical point of view, the song has a strong reminiscence to the 80s Hard Rock and Arena Rock sound we all love, although the production chooses some clean guitar tones and clear drums which make for a modern and fresh sound. The awesomeness of the track lies within the fine balance between the modern elements and the nostalgic ones, it’s as if you’re listening to a song from modern era Bon Jovi or Aerosmith.
From a vocal perspective though, Eddie outshines many of today’s singers due to his awesome gritty tone and present frustration on the verses and how he transitions into a more open and belted out chorus. The depth of his vocals not only lies in his wide vocal range and control, but also in how displays a wide array of feelings to match with every respective section of the song.
All in all, this song is a must-listen if you’re looking for modern day artists who keep their Rock sound pure but add a modern touch to keep it accessible and joyful to the listeners to rock out with. The song having a socio-political message and raising awareness is a plus as well. Go give Eddie Cohn‘s latest single a listen, and I promise you won’t regret it.
