I assumed that the album Beachtopia by Ant Tarrant would have a tropical pop feel to it, and this was pretty accurate. This seemed to be an upbeat and love themed EP. If you love happy songs, then you’ll love this. However, I found that the last song doesn’t really fit with the happiness vibe. Here are my comments on some of the 12 tracks.
Many songs have backing vocals, such as Kiss In The Dark. There is also an echo in this song.
The track Deactivate has an electronic feel to it. Most of the songs don’t sound electronic. I also like the other singer on this track. Although this is quite a soft song when you compare it to the rest, I like the rhythm. I’d say that this is my favourite, I also think that the vibe on Deactivate is a bit different to the rest.
Good Energy has a few long notes.
This album has the occasional explicit lyric, such as one word in Beautiful Time Of Day. “F*** the system”. I only mention this because some people don’t like swearing. There was only one other curse word in the album that I noticed.
I think In My Imagination is a quirky concept for a song. “Welcome to my Imagination, where all your lies are true”. Also in his imagination all of the world’s problems are solved. You could interpret this as not being as upbeat as the majority of the songs. The only other non-upbeat song is I Feel You at the end. I probably wouldn’t have placed this song at the very end, I would have found a more positive song to end it with.
It felt like there was a rap break near the beginning of Your Sweet Time.
I found the lyrics mostly understandable. Though, I thought Beautiful Time Of Day had another swear word in it, but the lyric turned out to be “We have a morning shift to do”
I would recommend this album if you like songs that make you feel good.
