SINGLE REVIEW: ROBERT VENDETTA “All By My Handsome Self”
Lightheartedness with a touch of destiny. “All By My Handsome Self” takes a dramatic, theatrical approach to sadness and loneliness. The song has a glaring cinematographical element to its storytelling. “I thought it was the two of us, but then you suddenly married to someone else!"
Witty lyricism and the captivating interplay between the piano and the vocal. There’s a sense of chaos and madness in its quickly passing explosive percussion and instrumental arrangement. The old-school entertainer is able to capture your attention in 10 seconds.
Just like its creator, “All By My Handsome Self” is full of charm. Narrates around the heartbroken news, the character in the song gradually accepts the reality and hopes for the best. As the title track from Robert Vendetta’s upcoming album, slotted to release on September 30th, “All By My Handsome Self” has promised stories, depths, and good music.
As introspective and heartbroken as it is, there’s a sense of nostalgia and heartfelt in the sonics. Coming to Vendetta during a Soul children’s song rehearsal, “All By My Handsome Self” also carried the vibe and energy of Norweigen Gospel. Sonically inspired by Elton John and ABBA, the song can be quite pleasing and evocative to many.
