Ripperz lights it up on an all new single, "Wasted"
Review by Austin Sher
Shared officially on January 15th, 2021, Ripperz has debuted his first single of 2021, “Wasted”. We’re loving it! Read along with us for our full review of the track, in addition to a brief background on the artist as well.
Currently based out Middlesbrough in the North East of England, Ripperz has kicked off the year in a big way with the release of “Wasted”. Following up his first single, “Lost Souls”, we’re definitely enjoying what we’re hearing so far and think it’s a fantastic start in terms of nailing down a signature sound for the artist.
According to the artist though, “Wasted was written pretty fast, 20 minutes max, it’s a song which has relatable reality. I guess it’s about being told that you can’t do something and not having the freedom to choose. It seemed a good time to release it”. In a world where it seems like the safe things we can actively do on a daily basis are limited, we concur that this was probably the best time to release the song, as well as subject matter as well.
Moving onto the actual music though, this 3 minute track is loaded with greatness. Kicking things off immediately with a shredding guitar riff, it immediately gets you into the mood to rock out and relate with Ripperz. While it’s a bit difficult to fully nail down what subgenre of rock this song would be in, we suppose the closest thing would be pop punk, which we feel closest aligns. Being lovers of the genre, Ripperz is fitting in nicely already with such few songs released.
Now we definitely couldn’t get through this review without mentioning the vocals featured here, which are outstanding. He definitely has quite a bit of range and gets plenty of opportunities to show it off throughout this song. Seeing an evolution in just the change from his debut single to this one, he’s on the right track for sure. We’ll absolutely be keeping a close eye on what’s to come.
For an artist that is so early in his career, we’re truly hoping that he keeps on and keeps up with these releases. Considering that he’s already got a winner in the books in the beginning of 2021, we’ll be crossing our fingers that more is to be released soon enough. No rush to the artist though, we know these things take time.
With all this being said, do yourselves a favor and check out “Wasted”! You definitely will not regret your choice. It’s a fun and upbeat song that deserves your streams. Enjoy!
