Single Review: Blue Moon by Rose Haven Motor Hotel
Review by Isabelle Turner
Rose Haven Motor Hotel is a rising force in the music scene and has graced us with their second single, “Blue Moon”, a dreamy follow up to their debut single. The song takes listeners on a celestial journey that cements the band’s unique sound that is causing them to make waves in the music industry. This single has caused them to provide a promising presence in the indie music landscape.
“Blue Moon” opens with a sweet instrumental and acoustic guitar, setting the stage for the dreamy atmosphere that permeates the entire song. The band's ability to infuse their music with a genuine, unfiltered quality is striking, creating an immediate connection with the listener. The lead vocals and emotional delivery immediately captures the listener’s attention, creating a sense of intimacy that draws you into the world of Rose Haven Motor Hotel. The song explores themes of time passage, youth and change, while having poetic melodies and haunting lyrics. Each verse feels like a chapter in a poignant story, and the chorus, with its soaring harmonies, serves as a cathartic release, inviting the listener to reflect on their own journey through life. The song follows perfectly after their debut single “Nebraska”, which is a folky, and incredible song that depicts a beautiful journey for listeners. Rose Haven Motor Hotel has developed a sound that is mature beyond their stage as an artist. The song feels deeply profound and the band does an incredible job in executing the authentic song. The production is carefully crafted, allowing each instrument and vocal nuance to shine through, creating a captivating listening experience.
“Blue Moon” truly is an enchanting track and it should be at the top of your playlists if it isn’t already. The only criticism that can be said of the track is that I simply wanted to the song to be longer. The dreamy soundscapes made me yearning for more. “Blue Moon” takes you on an emotional journey that is enchanting and makes you yearn for more. Rose Haven Motor Hotel has succeeded in crafting a song that is not only beautiful but also emotional resonant.
Rose Haven Motor Hotel is continuing to prove that they are here for the long haul. Their addicting sound and vocals has made us itching for more and we can not wait to see what the rising band continues to bring forth to the table.
