The track is the fifth single of a busy breakthrough year for the artist
The appeal and roots of country and folk music are laid in its storytelling, and the vivid imagery and canvasses painted by artists are often the difference between them sinking and floating in a crowded scene. VANNGO is somebody who is capable of transporting you to sun-soaked, immersive worlds through his sound and style, with his latest single ‘Rearview Flames’ just the latest showcase of his raw and emotive charm.
The track finds the artist looking to let go of the past and push forward towards whatever the future has in store for him, using unforgiving desert imagery and conversational writing to paint a vivid image of his journey as he keeps moving and heading forward, rather than dwelling on the skeletons and life that he has left behind. The nostalgic blend of acoustic guitar and harmonica on the track just seems to enhance this imagery, and the raw, rootsy nature of the soundscape and VANNGO’s heartfelt vocals makes for a timeless and engrossing release that is packed full of earnest, warm appeal.
