Artist: Attom Darcy Blvd Single: Let’s Try Again Genre: Blues, Classic Rock, Soul Rock Release Date: August 30th, 2024

Attom Darcy Blvd’s debut single, "Let's Try Again," is a steady dive into the nostalgic heart of soul music, evoking the spirit of Etta James and Otis Redding. The track, set in a slow 6/8 time signature, builds itself around a bluesy ballad structure that lets its soulful foundation breathe.

Michelle Carter’s raspy, emotionally rich vocals take center stage, carrying the weight of the song with ease. While the lyrics lean toward repetition, Carter's delivery gives them weight, bringing life to each line in a way that keeps the listener anchored. Her performance, paired with Curt "Kirkee B." Bisquera’s drumming, ensures the track doesn’t feel rushed, allowing space for every beat and melody to settle.

Where "Let's Try Again" truly shines, though, is in its top-tier production. The names behind the mix—Josh Gudwin, Dale Becker, and Joe Cruz—provide the track with a clean, polished sound, yet maintain the raw energy that’s needed for a proper soul throwback. The musical arrangement doesn’t overcrowd the vocals, letting them lead, while subtle instrumental layers add texture.

Though the song doesn’t break new ground, it’s a solid homage to classic soul, delivered with modern clarity. For fans of the genre, it’s a familiar but welcome ride, reminding us why these timeless sounds continue to resonate. "Let's Try Again" isn’t trying to revolutionize soul, but instead, it lovingly honors its roots with expert craftsmanship.
