Matt O'Brien - Paradise EP [Review]


During this review, I am going to look at the EP titled "Paradise," by the music artist Matt O'Brien. Matt is originally from the the town of Wadsworth in Ohio. "Paradise" is an EP packed with ripping bass lines and awesomely catchy leads which are overlaid with tone perfect vocals. If you are looking for a nicely blended mix of pop and dance music, then this EP is well worth a listen if you have a spare second.


MRG's Top 6 Picks:

Number 6:

In at number 6, I have placed the song, "Still Not Over You," this song evokes the most emotion on the EP, the tone of the vocals mixed with the piano really helps to push and make this a very nice atmospheric piece.

Number 5:

5th position goes to the song, "Bombshell," this song starts with drums and bass, and works up to a very well written breakdown and a super catchy chorus.

Number 4:

I have given the song, "Getaway," this song consists of a very distinctive lead synth and very well thought out build ups and breaks within the song.

Number 3:

I have put the song, "Apocalypse," in at number 3, this track is full of distinctive bass and a strong punchy dance beat that keeps the song's energy running throughout. The drum break in the middle of the song is also very well thought out and works extremely well to break up the song without losing any of it's energy.

Number 2:

I have placed the song, "Dangerously Apathetic," A very strong track that is lead by layers of deep backing vocals mixed with various different styles of synth to create a nice variation of sound that combines well with the vocals.

Number 1:

In my opinion, the best song is the EP-titled song, which is "Paradise," this song is full of edgy bass lines, well-toned vocals and well built up synth effects and leads that help to strengthen the song in vital parts to help to emphasise it in the choruses, build ups and breakdowns.



That's about it for this review, I would strongly recommend this EP to anybody who loves their pop and dance music! I have to admit, I am not the biggest fan of Pop and Dance music, I am more into my Indie Rock and Blues styles, but I have to say I am quite a fan of how this EP is written, thought out and the overall sound too.
