Mitch Rowland - Come June
After four years of work on his debut record [with breaks for Harry Styles' "Love On Tour", obviously], Mitch Rowland presents us his artistic self. What is his artistic self?
Pretty much poetic, very indie-folk, cozy and bright. The artist very skillfully and consciously explores a genre that requires quite a lot of mental investment and a certain courage, because it is difficult to promote such material as a beginner. It’s good that there is a safety net in the form of part of the huge fan base of the “big brother” - because of this, in the record you can hear not only a certain confidence in actions, but also a sort of chill vibe that helps with the mood of the whole work.
"Come June" is quite cinematic, very calm and "warm" album. There are no shocking twists, biting lyrics or overly loud instruments. But it all sounds collected, professional and conceptual. Especially if we talk about the instrumental part of the work. This is best seen on the highlights - "Bluebells", "Come June", "On The Line", and "Illusionist".
Mitch Rowland confidently establishes himself as a traditional singer-songwriter who arms himself with words and instruments in an attempt to reveal his feelings in a work that will help others feel something. And it will be difficult to disagree that he did it well with the first try.
"Come June" is more of a soft welcome hug than a loud statement about yourself. But often those who present themselves this way have a better chance of becoming your best friend. Right?
