Breathe Deep - Corbin Dooley (Indie Pop) It’s pretty genius that a song called “Breathe Deep” is musically structured to be a series of inhales and exhales, with Corbin Dooley’s latest track utilizing tension and release to convey his message of connectivity to the universe, and each other. The song is what we would call a “travelling song”—it trots along with a steady guitar strum and the subtle drive of a pad, as the build continues thanks to a continuous addition of more instrumentation. Reedy and resonant, Corbin’s baritone and soothing while crisp, slicing through the track throughout. Our favorite moment was certainly the bridge, which elevates the song with a surprising modulation (the inhale) before the glorious release (the exhale) of that suped up final chorus.

Best Lyric: “Faith is pure emotion.”
