David Goundry packs a punch of nostalgia on single, "Coming Right At You"
David Goundry’s latest single, “Coming Right At You,” is a radiant ode to classic pop rock, bursting with energy and melody that transports listeners straight to the golden age of analog sound. Engineered and produced by the legendary Nik Sykes at Rooster Studio, London, this track is a vibrant showcase of Goundry’s knack for crafting timeless tunes that hit the sweet spot between pop and rock, evoking a sense of nostalgia while still feeling fresh and current.
The moment the track kicks off, it’s clear that Goundry is aiming for something big, and he hits the mark. With lush, Beatles-esque pop arrangements and a driving yet soulful energy, "Coming Right At You" is built around a soaring melody that sticks in your head after just one listen. The crisp, guitar-driven production from Sykes is masterful, and the contributions from veteran session guitarist Hugh Burns (whose credits include work with George Michael and Paul McCartney) add layers of warmth and richness to the sound.
The song's acoustic elements create an intimate atmosphere, yet it’s the euphoric backing vocals that elevate the track to another level. Goundry’s vocals are confident and emotive, but it’s the harmonies that truly give the song its classic, feel-good vibe. Each chorus feels like an anthem in itself, with the kind of sing-along quality that makes this track destined for radio play.
Lyrically, “Coming Right At You” carries a message of optimism and forward momentum, perfectly in sync with the upbeat instrumentation. Goundry’s heartfelt delivery makes it clear that this track is packed with soul—there’s no overproduction or artificial polish here, just pure, authentic musicianship.
Sykes’ expert engineering makes the whole package sound like a labor of love, bringing out the best in every element, from the punchy rhythm section to the shimmering guitar licks. The analogue warmth that Goundry is aiming to emulate shines through in every note, making this song feel both retro and refreshingly genuine. The song starts out slow and continues to build and build into a downright heavenly explosion of sound towards the latter half. There’s something so pure and feel good about this, it’s obviously best meant to be listened to than read about.
“Coming Right At You” is the perfect introduction to Goundry’s forthcoming album, set to release in November. It’s an uplifting, infectious pop-rock anthem that promises to leave listeners hooked and eager for more. David Goundry has succeeded in delivering a classic, melodic ballad brimming with heart and soul—an instant crowd-pleaser that proves great pop-rock never goes out of style.
