Teasing his upcoming album, Vancouver-based musician/songwriter Blake Havard dropped his latest single You Make it Right on the 5th of May, 2023. Collaborating with Pat Steward on drums (Bryan Adams’), Norm Fisher on bass (Bryan Adams’), and John Webster on Hammond organ and keyboards while handling the production himself and Mixing and engineering by Hayden Watson (Bryan Adams’ Grammy nominated for So Happy it Hurts), You Make it Right is an infectious blues rock tune that’ll find its way to your on-repeat playlist. Let me tell you more about it.
Blake Havard’s big rocking sound is crystal clear right from You Make it Right’s opening, he lays some pretty catchy guitar work before he hits hard with a groovy fluid vocal melody. You Make it Right is an energetic bright tune throughout all its shifts, it has a groovy mellow verse with atmospheric mix of colorful melodies that keeps the listener hooked and moving as they smoothly progress into an eargasmic chorus. It has a tight solid structure that keeps on moving towards a bigger and catchier sound, taking the listener on a flowing trip lead by Havard’s amazing well-written and executed guitar work in a neat multi-layered production where each element takes its time to shine and make its impact.
Blake Havard managed to create a laid-back tune that kept me moving and entertained without compromising his direction or seriousness in You Make it Right. He powerfully took control of the song’s dynamics, steering his melodies wisely to achieve his vision. Looking forward to more from Blake Havard, keep on rocking. Cheers!
