Blueburst's latest single, "Supernova," is a shining example of how music can celebrate life even in the face of death. The paradoxical lyrics, coupled with the upbeat tempo, make for a unique listening experience that will leave you feeling both energized and contemplative. Chances are this is probably your introduction to Blueburst, so we’re beyond thrilled that you get to familiarize yourself with such an instant hit. Obviously, it’s a song and a band we’re highly recommending to all.
The song is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a reminder that we should never take our time on this earth for granted. Blueburst's guitarist and vocalist Craig Douglas Miller is a living embodiment of this philosophy. Miller, who turned 50 and took a 20-year hiatus from music, decided to rekindle his passion for songwriting and release original music again. "Supernova" is the second single from Blueburst, and it's a joyful look at Miller's determination to keep living life to the fullest.
The song's opening guitar riff sets the tone for the lively and energetic melody that follows. The lyrics, though centered around the inevitability of death, manage to avoid being bleak or depressing. Instead, they celebrate the preciousness of life and the importance of making the most of our time. Miller's vocals are full of passion and energy, perfectly complementing the driving rhythm section and soaring guitar solos. The production quality is top-notch as well, fully surrounding and encompassing your ears with a grand and atmospheric tone. Through just a little over three minutes in complete runtime, it’s a ball of adrenaline that slowly releases, resulting in a euphoric climax of amazing rock and roll.
"Supernova" is an uplifting and inspiring song that will have you tapping your feet and singing along. Blueburst has created a perfect balance of music and message, proving that even in the darkest moments, there is always a reason to keep dancing.
