Hunter Skye is persistently determined to take his musical craft to the next level and the next level feels like it supersedes even the stars in the sky. This alternative folk/Americana live performer is here to break the boundaries that exist in musical genres by crisscrossing innovatively between styles of his own liking and you better pay attention for in this magical moment right here; you are about to be blown away at such staggering magnitude of his musicality. Currently, you can find him doing live shows in his Wappinger resident area as he takes the next step in his music career to go commercial.
When performing live he is always accompanied by his close confidant John A as they both make an intriguing duo-like orchestral that you would want to experience at least once in your lifetime. I bring to you Hunter Skye’s exceedingly invented and powerfully delivered, “Cactus” album- a 20-song collection that features both the short and cinematic soundtracks and the long appeasing, fully composed and sung tracks. So you will always find yourself immersed in the thematic-honoring film compositions and impressively absorbed in the other fully orchestrated singles- enjoy!
I feel this is one of those therapeutic collections that will get you through all the emotions you could ever think of. I give Hunter Skye his flowers together with the other invited guest acts who made this a complete body of art that expertly allows the tunes to transition into each other whilst still retaining their authenticity as the seamless body of works.
“Battre a Fin” is one of that alluring tunes that tell a joyous tale and the way the short and deliciously defined melodies feel somehow like the indescribably exhilarating feeling of watching dolphins frolic in and out of the humungous ocean water is absolutely magical!
“Today’s News” in which he featured Jake Addams takes you back to the prime time fox news in 1971 (was fox still a thing?) The old box television channel is blurring out its black and white images and your old man is sitting on a recliner and they are deeply drawn in all the action!
“Good Ol’ times” feels like an all-time favorite country classic from way back and honestly, who wouldn’t want to be treated to an all-time old-time classic (definitely not me!)
“Pioneer Saloon” is where Hunter Skye treats us to his own version of versatility and dynamism by coming through with an endearing cocktail of a tuneful and rhythmus track that will feel your heart and soul with rhapsody. Starting on a lively instrumental note, this track flaunts numerous elements starting with the grandiose folk harmony delivery with that Americana sizzler before the proverbial and quintessential storytelling attribute associated with country music making this a moving piece of quality work. The self-assured vocals and the instruments in here fronted by the guitars make for a marvelously assaulting listening experience you’d always want to infuse most if not all of your days! In the end, you really will have come to an agreement that, “And that is really what is just left now…”
“Runnin’” takes you on a gaming and anime-like live experience where everything is in vivid 4K imagery and inhabiting such a visual planetary world is kind of my ideal fascination!
“Morning Cigar” is that nostalgically great folk anthem that takes you to paradise and back and you just want to experience this feeling forever continually!
This is just the tip of the iceberg for there is so much more in, “Cactus” to quench your thirst for that creative melodic output. And if anything, this is just more than enough proof that Hunter Skye is an opportunity away from astonishing the musical world with such virtuosic ingenuity!
