Brad Lee Curtis looks toward the future on "Waiting for the Tide"
On just his second officially released single, Brad Lee Curtis is already making waves, especially on this latest track “Waiting for the Tide”. Read along with us as we break down our thoughts on the song, in addition to a background on this emerging artist as well.
Representing the Nashville music scene, Brad Lee Curtis is crafting music that falls along the lines of indie folk rock. Released on June 4th, 2021, “Waiting for the Tide” is a love song inspired by Brad’s wife in which he finished writing the lyrics after a deep conversation on a beach while he was in Thailand. Honestly, it’s quite picturesque and the entire mood of the song felt very beach-like as well.
While his sound could be compared to the likes of Fleet Foxes, The War on Drugs, and Lord Huron, there’s certainly a massive dose of originality and creativity that’s been infused by Brad himself. Going straight off the vocals and delivery, he’s managed to truly soothe our souls on a sub-4 minute track that not only has the qualities to make a person relax, but focus in and listen to the story at hand. Touching on subjects such as life, love, and growing old together, this song takes a look at the future and takes the listener to a newfound happy place.
Like so many who have struggled due to COVID-19 in the past year, Brad Lee Curtis is another in the mix that had to put a blossoming music career on hold. Thankfully though the music that he was half-finished with has seen the light of day, and a minor spoiler alert, but you can even expect some more set to release in the future as well. Speaking as new fans here, we’ll certainly be excited when the next track drops.
Considering that there were only two singles to listen to, we’ve been going back and forth on which of Brad’s singles we’ve enjoyed more. While it would be impossible to say as they’re both different, they’re absolutely worth your time to check out back to back. You can audibly hear production improvements from one to the other, but it’s also going to be nice to look back on both of them as a base once more gets shared.
With all that being said though, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that we’re recommending multiple listens of “Waiting for the Tide”, but also another suggestion for you to keep up with the work of Brad Lee Curtis. There’s something special here and time will only tell until we can listen and share more of his masterful work. For now, give it a spin, and enjoy!
