Glyn Major- Read Between The Lines
Glyn Major is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Brisbane, Australia. Major’s latest single Read Between The Lines is an intuitive and thought provoking 3 song EP that is uplifting and mellow, inducing a chilled peaceful feeling.
The title single “Read Between The Lines” is a masterfully ambient approach to an acoustically driven song. A heavily reverberated intro that leads into a tight sounding verse is a sign of production and performance mastery. Unlike many songs that boast a singer-songwriter feel, this song features a strong use of dynamics to create varying soundscapes and feelings associated with varying parts of the song. “Read Between The Lines” is accompanied by a beautifully scenic music video which can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBxseFN4xy8
Second comes a nice little instrumental piece that showcases Major’s talents on the Keyboard. Coming in at a little under 2:00, “One Day At A Time” serves as a teaser, leaving the listener desiring of more. The song has an incredible build throughout with very busy parts that add a nice feel of complexity and musicality to this piece.
The final song on the single entitled “Exist” is the darkest sounding recording on the EP. Featuring a nice guitar riff that is complimented by a wonderful rotary effect, this reviewer feels as though you will most enjoy this song through headphones. Not a lot of flash, and no filler, this song is bare bones and soul filled. This gives Major’s voice an opportunity to truly stand out, shine, and prove to be the driving force behind this song. This song is accompanied by a fantastically produced and though-provoking music video which can be viewed here:

Glyn Major is not only a very talented individual, but a busy one as well. A new song that was released on Christmas, “Face Without A Name” is an incredible song that offers great musicianship, and thought provoking lyrics. This song offers a very Led Zeppelin feel when you think about their acoustic songs. Powerful soaring vocals that are very reminiscent of Robert Plant and lead guitar parts that feature a tone similar to Jimmy Page with a technique that is very Ritchie Blackmore at times not only offers a refreshing new sound, but one that is nostalgic as well.
It doesn’t take long to discover that Glyn Majors is an incredibly talented individual. An artist’s artist is many regards. The best music is the music that is soul-filled and heart felt. Glyn Major delivers incredible music that touches the heart and fills the soul.
