Indie Artist Music Review - Single - Old New Love by Chork

Chork bleeds out heartfelt expressions on his banging ‘Old New Love’ latest Single

Nothing expresses words emotionally better than music. Call it whatever name you want, here is one song from Charlie Gibson, a.k.a Chork, which crackles with electrifying dexterity.

Coming on the heels of the time when sadness and uncertainty stalk the atmosphere with a certain pandemic taking the shine off much of human activities, someone forever loyal to his guitar still has cause to forge through the pain, saw light at the end of a dark love-life tunnel and made the bold resolution to love again, even without contact.

Old New Love is one crunching emotionally charged song with captivating lyrics that gives its listeners a reason to have sober reflections, hope, and never throw in the trowel.

The Thematic Analysis of the Single “Old New Love”

Like Jesus and Nazareth, like Chork and Derbyshire. Creativity born out of raw and innate talent is what defines one’s ability to shine, not from whence you came.

Chork who hails from the little known area of Derbyshire is one of the few (and certainly among the best) singers and songwriters that craft and deliver no-nonsense rock-based superlative blues tunes that easily draw attention. ‘Old New Love’ is Chork’s latest piece of creative genius that touches on real-life experience—a broken relationship, a shattered dream, and strangled happiness, amid a world that’s under lock and keys.

Despite the odds, Chork, drawing strength from his guitar and creative psychic was able to discover something amazing—a possibility many never thought about before now—the ability to still be in love without keeping contact—a warming reassurance from his imaginative genius, considering the times. And what better name is there to give it than an ‘Old New Love?’

Yeah, it doesn’t have to be reciprocal; just be in love with no contact and a pandemic in the mix. Talk about creativity at its best.

If you are reading this, Charlie Gibson, you’ve just made another fan. This song is now on my playlist and will remain there for a very, very long time.

Here is what the track looks like in its entirety.

Review of Chorks Old New Love Single

Chork kicks off the single with an attention-grabbing tempo that begins with a four-step hammer band beats, then straight into a no-nonsense hook with charming electric guitar tones tantalizing the general background hammer drum and flattened cymbal flow. The introduction is so powerful and compelling, instantly creating that desire to listen to the end. What a way to open a song. Again, the electrifying yet balanced start gives you the unmistakable recognition that you’re listening to a typical rock sound that holds some blues tunes on the jugular.

Throughout the song, Chork exhibited a strong and unapologetic classic rock influence, but with super cool vocals that gives the song a mesmerizing effect. The anthemic hooks and easy-to-sing along lyrics drives a powerful rendition that will have listeners reaching for the volume knob.

The vibe on Old New Love is a modernized, irresistible mix of rhythm with powerful hooks that instantly sodomize your soul. The only way of escape is to listen to the end. The track has that explosiveness and live-show grit that compels people to convert to rock ‘n’ blues. The smooth vocal harmonies and tremolo-like soaked-guitar tones, coupled with the occasional heavy bass drum and fast-pace beat rolling on intervals make this song a balance, physically motivated groove anthem to roll with.

You can feel the singer’s pain, concern, and resolve in every note and word, especially when on the reverbs. With wordings like “Something warming and lovely about being in love with no contact,” Chork takes his listeners into a complicated but equally defined world of a broken and hurting heart, one that accepts reality and chose redefinition instead of self-defeat. No doubt, Old New Love is one of those relatable songs that will stand the test of time.

Old New Song is scheduled for release on the 12 of June 2020. Just don’t take my words for it; you can listen to the song here SoundCloud.
