Jon Redfern - Play Of Fear
Jon Redfern is a young, talented yet undiscovered musician who is about to release a track that will make a mark on the industry.
‘Play Of Fear’ is the first single to be released from the forthcoming album ‘What Else But Love?’. It's an upbeat ballad sort of tune, with pop hooks and acoustic guitar that keeps the beat travelling. Amongst the mist of the ballad and the acoustic styling there is also an electric riff that pops up every now and again adding some depth to the tune. Vocals are low but they do have quite a pitch range with harmonies not having much of an impact.
The song deals with Jon’s emotional state of mind at the time he wrote the tune, but is unfortunately a very difficult track to get wrapped up in. Even with the mellow setting there was nothing that made me want to head under the duvet and sob my eyes out, or even cuddle up to as with most slower tunes. Maybe the album holds more.
