Following last year’s “Sobville (Episode I)” EP, Arrested Youth has released a brand new single, titled “Brightside.”
The song instantly grabbed my attention with its powerful intro before the instrumentals take a step back in the first verse, which is led primarily by ukulele and allows the vocals to show off. The chorus is just as massive and anthemic (if not moreso) than the intro, bringing hard hitting instrumentals and unforgettable melodies before the drums bring some extra emphasis to the second verse and help build that up, and the bridge and final choruses are just as powerful as the intro previous choruses earlier on in the song. As the title hints at, the song’s lyrics touch on a major topic that was discussed throughout “Sobville (Episode I)” - persevering through tough times. The hook in the chorus sings “let’s keep it on the brightside,” sending a message to the listener about trying to look for the positives, despite what they may be going through.
I was already impressed with Arrested Youth after hearing the first installment of the “Sobville” releases last year, and this new track impressed me just as much. Between the powerful performances, the extremely catchy melodies and the relatable lyrics, “Brightside” is a captivating, uplifting and unforgettable track from Arrested Youth, and is only making me even more excited for what comes next. “BRIGHTSIDE” IS AVAILABLE NOW.
