Expanding on nearly the entire spectrum of music, everything about Chris Caulfield’s new single “Stockholm Syndrome” aims to think outside the box. Please read on for our glowing review of this track, as well as a background on the artist.

Currently representing the Toronto music scene, Chris Caulfield is a singer-songwriter who’s just shared an outstanding art-pop inspired song called “Stockholm Syndrome”. Lyrically important and expertly reinventing song structure, we were instantly enamored on our initial listen. As this was our introduction to Chris’ music, it served as the perfect gateway to continue our exploration into everything he’s made so far.

Having been part of bands in his early 20’s, we sincerely hope that this solo route for Chris has proved to be more fulfilling artistically. As far as “Stockholm Syndrome” goes, the background of the track has to do with “exploring the duality of navigating substances from the perspective of chronic pain”. It’s very obviously a personal experience that this artist has dealt with first hand, so we’re thrilled that he’s been able to find this happy medium to get those thoughts sorted out for a healthier future.

Sonically speaking, Chris instantly maneuvers his way in the vocal department that’s sure to send shivers down anyone’s spines. Seriously, within the first 30 seconds or so, we were quickly captivated by the non-traditional opening and an absolute stunner of a vocal opening. That translated effortlessly into a pop-centric track that simply took us for a ride both thematically and instrumentally. Legitimately there isn’t a single negative or critique we could point out and this really came across as the ideal intro of an artist who we were previously unfamiliar with.

With that being said though, the entire package of “Stockholm Syndrome” has played out as a positive story for the future and an astonishing song with killer production value.
