Player 1 - The Magic Epic (Pop) Player 1 is an anthem, to say the least. It’s big, epic even, with glistening keys around a steady kick and crisp top percussion, with an urgency added by the thrumming guitar. But where the song truly shines is in its vocals. There’s a Sting quality to the leads, taking us back to Fields of Gold days, with a dash of the Killers. And the man has quite a set of pipes on him, giving real power to the video game themed lyrics about saving the world. Not to mention a smooth as hell falsetto. Swirling in a haunting reverb, it melds perfectly into the track, sitting extremely well in the mix. Overall, we think Player 1 is a great one for your everyday commute playlist—it’s a driving song.
Best Lyric: “I’d go back for you. Use my extra life.”
