Erich Mrak
Riptide (digital single)
Review by Gary Hill
The latest in a string of singles being released as a seven-month project, ultimately to be assembled into an EP, this has merits. It's also stumbles a bit by getting into the over-produced zone. I know that it's probably more about pandering to modern pop sensibilities, but honestly, this artist is better than that (at least based on his previous releases). That doesn't ruin the song entirely (it's still worthwhile), but it does land it as the weakest of the singles thus far.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) in Music Street Journal: 2019 Volume 4. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2019.
