The track is the third of a trio of singles from his upcoming Branches EP
Armed with a nuanced and expressive sound that highlights the artist’s experience and tenure as a singer-songwriter, Michigan’s Mike Bass and his unique blend of folk, Americana, indie-folk have been carving out a deserved reputation for his thoughtful charm and engrossing appeal.
The artist’s latest single ‘Alter My Direction’ is one that perfectly encapsulates everything that makes the artist feel distinctive and memorable, melding a pulsating rhythm section with a brooding, slow-burning style that accompanies a thoughtful and poignant narrative. Thematically, the track explores themes of renewal and perseverance, finding the artist hoping to change the trajectory of his life and ultimately alter his own direction, and being determined that he has what it takes to do so. The rousing nature of the lyrics and thoughtful nature of the sound make for a potent combination, and one that leaves a lasting impression on you as a listener.
