Wrapping up a groundbreaking year, Milwaukee’s own Chris Siegel offers up a hybrid-electronic gem “Never Need To Know.” His most dynamic track to date features the soul saturated vocals of Andrew Briol creating an outline of versatile soundscapes that fuse together effortlessly. Rooted in emotional pop cadences, Chris Siegel rinses out the track with a robust sax line to create an entirely immersive and jazzy listening experience. Swathed in a groovy tenor, this colorful tune simultaneously tackles the difficulties of letting go.
“The song was inspired by the concept of letting go — in this case a relationship. I think in our hyperconnected world, it’s become quite easy for people to have instant access to memories of past relationships/partners/etc.. Whether that’s deep diving on social media or simply seeing an old flame pop up in your feed, it’s the idea of regurgitating the past instead of completely moving on. The song was inspired by a friend who was going through the motions earlier this year. Admittedly, I think it’s something we’ve all done at some point in our lives (i.e. hyper-analyzing our past when in fact it’s much smarter to move on from it). I think it’s inherently human, but also pretty unhealthy”
A comforting listen with elegant sound design, “Never Need To Know” is one we can’t get enough of. Listen today.
