Ozz Gold “Rest of Me”

Ozz Gold spotlights his magnetically charming vocal on “Rest of Me.” Unlike his debut single “Unknown” that leaned on a mood-lifting, ground-shaking combination of instrumentals and electronic beats, the vocal-led single “Rest of Me’ takes listeners to a new height with storytelling and emotional expression at the forefront while the starry skyscape in the background paint a breathtaking dreamful scenery. Driving into a synth-heavy bouncy mix that reminds of celebrations at the beginning of the century, the nostalgic flavor is the glitters on top of a modern day dance party.

Since Ozz Gold’s first single, the artist has aggressively progressed and matured in his music making. Like the title “Rest of Me” states, the song brought to light the hidden and underlying elements and potentials in “Unknown.” The song see Ozz Gold full embraces his artistic instinct and vocal capacity. It showcases his unusual vocal range beautifully, masterfully articulating his emotions. His vocal performance embraces a powerful cathartic style, but it’s graceful and controlled.

The songwriting feels fuller and richer through exploring a range of sonic palettes. There’s passion and excitement, then there’s calmness and love, and then there’s a speck of understandable fear and doubt. Listeners can experience the moment of truly letting go while also being pulled back to those contemplative, vulnerable examinations. The contrast and balance is well crafted in Gold’s second single.

The only thing that the track needs to be careful about is the melodic reference to Taylor Swift’s “Safe & Sound” soundtrack for The Hunger Games. On the other hand, the sensuous vocal harmony provides a softer texture counter to its vibrant House mix, bringing the balance while introducing diversity.
