Chris Beland’s music journey began many years ago with some hiccups along the way, but that never waned in his conviction. It seems that no matter what interests come and go, one thing remains the same: his passion for music. That is why, despite battling numerous adversities along the way, he is still singing and enjoying the energy of performing for large audiences just as much as the intimacy of a solo acoustic show. He writes music from a place of honesty, vulnerability, and strength, with his introspective lyrics allowing listeners to find their own personal relationships with his songs.
With a distinct style, a soulful voice, and mature lyrics, Chris takes his years of experience and songwriting prowess and translates them into beautiful songs. His upcoming single, “Return To Pooh,” is expected to be a huge testament to his artistic brilliance, as previews suggest how he is able to tap into the heart of emotions with such effortless grace.
The guitar stylings in the snippets reveal Chris as a guitar aficionado, with his impeccable picking suggesting an earworm melody that will likely work really well with his gently powerful and soulfully rich vocals.
While we cannot tell you for sure what Chris does to make his songs so addicting and evocative, we know he does it, and that is enough for any music lover.
The blend of guitar melodies and his sweet-sounding voice in the teasers really is magical and hints at leaving an indelible mark on a listener’s heart and soul.
His emotive delivery and ideal flow are expected to accentuate the weight of the lyrics and offer such a cathartic listening experience for the listener.
As personal as it gets, “Return To Pooh” is anticipated to be a cathartic experience of a record on which Chris may really outdo himself; amazing vocals, production, and storytelling—it seems to check all the boxes.
This is a single off of his upcoming “CaliAmericana, Vol.11” compilation that is scheduled for release on September 22, 2023.
For now, we wait to sink our teeth into this beautifully haunting masterpiece, and we hope you’ll get something out of it like Chris envisioned when creating it. If not, the warmth the music promises to exude is reason enough to look forward to it.
