Clay Joule “NOTHING”

“Nothing” from Clay Joule is tuned to perfection. From the wickedly charming hook to the jazzy, rock-edged solo, to the eclectic, a bit disobedient riff and Joule’s smoky vocal that draws you into another dimension, “Nothing” is simply infectious. On top of all those juicy mix of sonic details, the music feels very present and alive.

Authenticity and passion goes hand in hand. That’s one of the most beautiful things about this track. The way it expresses itself so cathartically, fully immersed in the present moment and not give a f*ck about anyone’s opinion feels very punk rock. The atmosphere and soundscape are already hot enough, but this unapologetic attitude lights a fire underneath everything and throws it over the roof. It’s a party, and it goes way beyond that.

“Nothing” sees the fire sparks of the clashing of idea between musicians. There’s liberating spontaneity in it and the energy it brings out is uplifting. On the other hand, the track is very masterfully written and performed, tuned into perfection. A light touch of funk meets street rap and rock n roll in the most honest manner. Every sound is beating and ringing for themselves in a genuine and natural manner, and that is quite priceless in a song.

“Nothing” evokes such a collectiveness and a high in the ears and the souls. It makes you want to move your body and become a part of this immersive experience, being honest and just being in the moment without expectation, concerns, or worries.
