Emerging Chicago/LA artist Waverly Drive returns with “Class,” a psychedelic-rock-pop gem that fizzes with both catchy melodies and thought-provoking substance. This isn’t just sonic candy; it’s a meticulously crafted track that blends a timeless vintage vibe reminiscent of David Bowie with a distinctly modern, psychedelic edge.
“Class” immediately grabs you with its tight, steady groove. The instrumentation is rich and layered, featuring hypnotic bass, fuzzy guitar tones, and soaring choral vocals, all anchored by Galloni’s gritty, understated lead. The result is a vibrant and infectious soundscape that belies the song’s deeper lyrical content.
While the music sparkles, “Class” isn’t afraid to tackle weighty issues. Waverly Drive describes the song as “a lyric-driven reflection of the impact class has on society,” and this social commentary provides a sharp counterpoint to the bright, shimmering exterior. This juxtaposition adds a layer of maturity and depth that elevates the track beyond mere pop confection.
With “Class,” Waverly Drive solidifies his position as an artist on the rise, delivering a track that’s both musically compelling and lyrically resonant. This is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates intelligent pop music with a psychedelic twist.
