New Music Review - ‘History’ by Mitch James
Mitch James is back, tell all your friends!
It’s all History from here with one of Welcome to the Gig’s favourite musicians making a huge re-emergence into the scene with this fast hitting track. Let’s take the time to refresh and listen to Mitch James as he has come back with significance after one of the normalcies that we’ve been waiting for - the eager return of one of New Zealand’s biggest and truly honest, talented humans.
History comes in strikingly hot - with words that will literally make you weak in the knees. This song is Mitch, but with a newer, more mature sound to him after years of devising different soundscapes, something that comes with time and finding what that feels authentically him.
History is just like Mitch himself - bubbly, smiley and genuinely quite upbeat.
The mood of the song is completely impeccable and unmatched as History is turned up full force with an increasingly gifted bass pounding through, making this release more of a dance-rock song, rather than the pop music that we are used to hearing from him, appeasing audiences of all ages.
Mitch brings his humble tones and personality during the length of History - he invites us to be a part of “his story” and that hits different. When you’re able to listen in and take a leaf out of Mitch’s book by hearing the painful subject turned into something easily relatable and realising that whatever situation you find yourself in, you can turn it into a excellent piece of art, that’s magic.
When Mitch sings, it is like a pure indulgence has been released and it makes you really feel what he pours out into his tunes, History is proof of this.
They say History never repeats, but in terms of this song, I think you should repeat it.
