I'm Seeing Red But In The Best Way Possible!

Red (Single)
Spark Houston
Emerging from the underground industry, I have never heard a sound like Spark Houston's. Innovative and something that shines empowerment throughout, 'Red' showcases his often troublesome relationship with confrontation and competition. In other words, this feels entirely relatable to me. What I love most about this artist is his ability to be vulnerable with his audience and still welcome them all in with open arms. Music is a fascinating thing because it lets you come in, pick up a chair and soothe you with whatever topic you want to cover. 'Red' find itself sounding upbeat and ambitious, but it also shows a sign to Spark Houston that I've never seen before. It's a chance for artists to soak up the intensity of the songwriting yet let you in with open arms and comfort you that things will be ok again.
It feels that the song is about Spark's drive, energy and outlook into his music. An artist that breathes songwriting and turns any personal situation into something we can all share, 'Red' is the high before the low. If this track is anything to go by, this artist will have his name in lights within a matter of months. Musically, the track hears Houston drop bars left right, and centres throughout a classic production. Blending hip-hop with gentle alternative rock instrumentation led by a grit-filled guitar line, ‘Red’ is a statement that Houston means business. While this track was released last year, this has still been on repeat throughout 2022, and will be in the future, too. So much love for Spark Houston.
