Life is about changes, and nothing ever stays the same. Each chapter offers as a crucial stepping stone to the next, and we must let the old fade and fall away before a new one can begin and take root. New York City native and folksy storyteller Dante Mazzetti is self-aware enough to know it’s time to shed the past and step across the threshold into a new state of being. His song “Hey Now,” containing a drastic tempo shift to mimic his personal revelations, snaps from his jaws and soars as a front-porch blues ditty about learning to let go. “I guess I’m wrong too much to be true / The devil breaks your heart, but I lie to you,” he sings, confronting his own faults so he can then tear them from his chest. He’s a marksman of both vocal skill and finger-plucking on a song that more than earns its four-minute-plus runtime.
“Hey Now” samples his new EP, Hotel Vol. 1, out soon.
