Brooklyn-based singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist Stu Pender shares his brand new single Rewind, the lead single to be taken from his upcoming album Being With.
Out now via Youngbloods, Rewind is a dreamy piece of indietronica about the power of self-reflection, and letting go of things that hold us back as a way of growing as a person. I am loving his soothing vocals and how they infuse the song with vulnerability and emotion, while gliding effortlessly over the infectious production. Apart from those haunting layered vocals, I am particularly fond of the driving beat throughout the song and how it is nicely intertwined with lush instrumentals, delicate guitar plucks, ambient textures and nature sounds that come together to create an overall warm, introspective atmosphere perfect for a laid-back weekend!
Speaking about the song, Stu Pender said,
Rewind is a song about freeing ourselves. An exploration from a tender place—our pain, body, identities. It is about letting go of our outdated ways of being. In a sense, Rewind turns the clock back to ask: “Is this still serving me? What else am I?
