EDY Feat. Chris Bates - Single review: Here 4 U
I was slightly perplexed about
reviewing the single release Here 4 U by EDY featuring Chris Bates, simply because I could not figure out whom EDY was and I am sure the Chris Bates
on Spotify could not be the same Chris Bates I was hearing. Slyly diverting away from the link I was given
all in the name of research is not always wise. Unraveling the mystery, it turns out EDY is an up-and-coming young
music production and audio engineer from Auckland, Chris Bates is a singer/ songwriter based on the North Shore (not a
female EDM artist), and they have been collaborating on this track.
Chris has been writing and performing acoustic pop songs around the city since the age of thirteen, he is influenced by musical artists such as John Mayer, Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber and these influences show in Here 4 U.
In 2015 Chris was recognised with the Pat Mcminn Rising Star Award from the Variety Artists Club of New Zealand. He is also a winner of the Parachute Song Grant.
Primarily aimed at the younger generation and with a pop vibe, Here 4 U is a catchy track with its sights set firmly on radio stations such as The Edge and ZM. I can even hear the Bieber vibe on this track.
It is essentially a peppy love song, well mixed and well written. Bubbling with effervescence and highly polished.
Chris has been recording music to be released early next year and I predict he will do rather well with those of a slightly more youthful exuberance.4/5 star rating
