With a bright, optimistic, upbeat sound, and empowering lyrics, and real-life deliveries and production, Business Girl is an organic-sounding song that manages to be an eccentric blend of various things, while maintaining familiarity and easiness.
The Immaculate Crows is a musical collective, led by Brisbane-based songwriter and producer Bruce Nielsen. Often featuring the sounds of beautifully mundane people, moms, authors, and scientists, The Immaculate Crows have created a sound that feels delightfully earthy and relatable with these Rich, passionate features.
Business Girl is a classic case in point. This chirpy, sunshine-filled meal of classic, light rock feels vintage and fragile, like a porcelain vase. With the light touch on the drums, the airy harmonica wails, and the overdriven and crisp rhythm guitar casually strumming simple power chords, the lush and relatable vocals are given ample space to shine, and shine they do. The main vocals are understated and colorfully melodic, with multiple layers of soft, well-executed harmonies, and altogether the vocals paint a serene picture whose palette is accessible, moderately warm, and generally pleasing.
Business Girl is an easy-to-digest offering from an expert songwriter and producer whose band has been putting out music full of soul and meaning since their inception in the 1980s. The Immaculate Crows are a hidden treasure trove and Bruce Nielsen’s back catalog is rich, varied, and hugely compelling, and Business Girl is as perfect of an entry point into this universe as any.
