Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

In the eye of the tornado the peace of our existence can be found, the silence in amongst the maelstrom, the seduction of the moment’s influential still is to feel resistant to the tide that is overwhelming all around, the swirl, the cloud, the rampaging dust of our times; instead we can lay back, for a while, for a brief respite, see the sweetness peace on offer, and say We Like It.

For Cary Balsano, the latest in what has become a long line of beautifully observed lyrical dreams, dramas and expressions, We Like It is perhaps a keenness to compose, to witness a more demure and unflappable mode of communication, one that finds itself as the force of reason and the mode of truth in one tantalising and teasing song.

It is truth that we seek, but we also wish for the flavour of the art which carries us there to be one highlighting a smile, one that carries the cares of the world, but which also finds time to allow you see beyond the thick and heavy veil of insecurity and damnation.

The reason we all search for, is, perhaps quite rightly, shown in Cary Balsano’s handsome track, a song of light discouraging the dark, but acknowledging its existence, the skip in the step that the beat provides, but which also underneath regales you with the emotions of those that never paid attention to the hole in their way and which they might fall down.

It is in Cary Balsono’s observation that the music comes alive, the willingness to go beyond the strength shown, and show mercy to the fragile, to bring it to the fore and show it for the absolute beauty that it resides at the forefront of our mind. A dream of a single, We Like It, we all certainly should. Ian D. Hall
