Pete Miller Is Raw And Unfiltered On Debut Single "A Light Out There"
Pete Miller is an artist who wants to make a name for himself singing “everyman songs.” As someone who’s been through the wringer working many heavy duty jobs, he’s committed to making music that is raw, unpolished and unfiltered, that will touch the heart of the average person. He’s not about bombast or image, but instead he hopes to connect with people on a more personal level, and that applies to his latest single, “A Light Out There.”
From the first few seconds of “A Light Out There,” it’s instantly apparent just how different the single is from anything else you’d find on the radio. Taking influences from country music but dabbed with influences of alternative and punk music, Pete Miller manages to carve out for himself a surprising niche. Perhaps more surprising is he achieves all this with very little.
Musically, there’s nothing to really talk about here because the only instrument involved is Pete Miller’s acoustic guitar. It’s almost akin to listening to someone sing over a campfire, and it definitely helps with the way Pete passionately sings every passage. In fact, the abject simplicity of the song invokes the sound of the legendary Johnny Cash, which we’re sure is exactly what Pete was going for.
Songs like these are carried by their singers’ vocal performance, so how does Pete Miller fare in that regard? Well, there’s no worries here as the highlight of the song comes from Pete’s vocal performance, really displaying some intense determination and emotional chops. While things aren’t changed up much, the song maintains its emotional gravitas and ambiance quite well.
On top of that, the energy never lets up throughout the single’s run time. “A Light Out There” manages to keep the interest of the listener all the to its end, and that’s quite impressive for a song as simplistic as this. It’s all very pleasant sounding however, and the sheer presence of Pete Miller more than makes up for the simple instruments.
Overall, “A Light Out There,” is a solid single and one that really shows of Pete Miller’s strengths as an artist. There’s plenty to love, and if you’re a fan of stripped down, simpler songs, this one will be right up your alley. Pete Miller is a promising performer with strong songwriting skills, and we’re eager to see what else he has in store for the future.
