The track sees the rising and exciting band continue to find the perfect balance between style and substance
Since 2020, Oxford pop rock outfit THE MEZZ have been steadily establishing their melodic and instantly engrossing sound, mixing thoughtful writing and themes with a vibrant and colourful sonic palette that showcases their guile and appeal effortlessly.
The latest single from the band is ‘Bridges’, a typically enthralling affair that fights to find the balance between being true to yourself and projecting what it feels like the outside world wants to see. While this struggle is being played out in the lyrics, the soundscape itself is a much sunnier affair, with light melodies and an effervescent, catchy chorus providing the sound with a multi-faceted, charming allure that feels both relatable and charismatic. ‘Bridges’ is a really fun and thoughtful release that satisfies both in terms of style and substance.
Lead singer Ben, whose vocal prowess often pierces the heart, offers a poignant glimpse into the making of ‘Bridges’ “In this song, you’ll hear my heartfelt struggle with the world’s demands on personality and appearance. I grapple with the choice between embracing my true self and succumbing to the pressure of crafting an idealised persona for social media consumption. It’s a constant back-and-forth, a battle between genuine happiness and the allure of conforming to societal norms for wider acceptance.”
