From Oakland, California, The Helltones return to our blog with the gorgeously stripped-back and soulful “Nothing Compares to You.” The song is full of heart and emotion, offering warm retro tones that conjure the classic records of the 1960s.
“Nothing Compares to You” starts incredibly stripped-back with a warm but purposeful bass line that begins to flesh out the song’s melody. Staccato guitar heralds the introduction of more layers. The guitar churns out classic, slow rock ’n’ roll licks whilst the drums provide a sense of motion and direction. The musical layers remain wonderfully raw over the verses, allowing melody and vintage textures to subtly surround the vocal.
