Immigrant Union’s single “I Can’t Return”
Immigrant Union has figured out the right amount of soft and hard sounds. The mellower, soft rock feel of the music is balanced with the sharp sounds of the vocals and backup singers. Even though the vocals aren’t crisp, compared to the rest of the music they sound crisp. It’s very hard to find the right balance when going into the retro, soft rock genre and Immigrant Union has figured it out. The only thing I have to pick out is that the music video is a little too retro. I loved the idea they were going for but it didn’t come off as a naturally retro video. It came off more as a 21st Century band trying too hard to capture a 20th Century look.
-April B.
