Her. - Pierce Braedon (Pop) Pierce has quite the soulful voice—full and round with just a bit of rasp adding maturity—which is on full display on his newest track, Her. The track is a certainly a somber dark-pop affair, but the melody has kind of a pop-country sensibility. The overall vibe of the song is melancholy, driven by the verbed guitar which serves as a duet partner for Pierce. What we loved most of all was the switch-up in the chord progression at what we thought would be the bridge, announced by the entrance of an unexpected synth lead line that really catches your attention, only to find that it was a powerful outro. The song kind of leaves you hanging in that regard, which is an incredibly smart way to have the listener feel just as the singer does by his lost love. This one goes on your breakup playlist, but only when it’s still fresh, and you’re not quite ready for Since You Been Gone.

Best Lyric: “A lost love that always follows me, a lonely bed and often lonely dreams.”
