Brandon Colbein - Mess [Review] February 04, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Commercial Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “With a bit of gravel to his voice, Brandon Colbein drops the emotional verses of ‘Mess’ on us and we can feel the disoriented pain of a bad a breakup. Then the chorus hits and Colbein’s voice smooths out into a higher pitched tone of emotional disbelief. The melody and the beat here deliver that same juxtaposition giving the song a back and forth feel that is exactly how most of us a feel when we are an emotional mess. The arrangement of the track shows as much talent as the vocals and songwriting making this a track with legs enough to become a lasting standard. Can’t wait to hear more from this talented artist. ” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
