Shmel’s open-hearted musical gifts make his songs immediately catchy and sweet. ‘Lass Los’ is the title of his latest single. A syrupy piece of indie rock, with elements of pop and alternative thrown in for good measure, ‘Lass Los’ is a pretty new chapter in Shmel’s musical journey.
A musician originally from Ukraine, Shmel moved to Germany 3 years, based now in Pattensen. During those 3 years, Shmel was fascinated with the German language and took it upon himself to one day sing in it, which takes us to ‘Lass Los’. The sweet and punchy cut features in its forefront Shmel’s heartful delivery and soulful yelps in German.
The music is accessible and easy to move to. A solid groove drives the piece forward, supported by a lush string arrangement and Shmel’s vocals. The rock arrangement on ‘Lass Los’ is involved, featuring guitars, most noteworthy of them are Shmel’s fiery solo part and staccato, arpeggiated riff. ‘Lass Los’ is shock full of feeling and memorable melodies that drive home Shmel’s blend of emotions and depth.
‘Lass Los’ is an enjoyable new release from a multi-cultural singer and songwriter whose cheery nature and open-faced confidence is always refreshing to witness.
