Lights Out (Silverline Album)
''Lights Out'' is the first studio album by the Christian contemporary Christian music band Silverline, which was released on April 9, 2013 by Dream Records, and the producer on the album was Ben Kasica. Music and lyrics On the subject of musicality, Tyler Hess of Christian Music Zine liked the "musical assault on the faster tracks, but they still need something to make them stand out from the crowd." Kevin Hoskins of Jesus Freak Hideout is in agreement because he told that the album "maintains a great eternally driven perspective, but with subpar music and nothing unique delivered. Those who dig the soft rock scene will truly enjoy the album, but if you're looking for something other than what's played on the radio every day, this won't be for you."

Catchiness
Catchiness is how easy it is for a song, tune, or phrase to be recalled. It is often taken into account when writing songs, catchphrases, advertising slogans, jingles etc. Alternatively, it can be defined as how difficult it is for one to forget it. Songs that embody high levels of remembrance or catchiness are literally known as "catchy songs" or " earworms". While it is hard to scientifically explain what makes a song catchy, there are many documented techniques that recur throughout catchy music, such as repetition, hooks and alliteration. ''Selling Sounds: The Commercial Revolution in American Music'' says that "although there was no definition for what made a song catchy, all the songwriting guides agreed that simplicity and familiarity were vital". The physical symptoms of listening to a catchy song include "running tover in our heads or tapping a foot". According to Todd Tremlin, catchy music "spread because tresonates similarly from one mind to the next". Analysis In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
