Chance Peña, The Mountain Is You | Song Review 🎵

Indie-pop singer/songwriter Chance Peña delivers an expressive, gorgeous, and sincere single with “The Mountain is You.”

“I don’t know what it is that I’m climbing to / I hear the words in my head, you said, ‘The mountain is you.’” Chance Peña showcases his musical gifts in his single, “The Mountain Is You”.  Not only does Peña sing, but he also wrote and produced the song.  From the start, Peña wows in all facets of “The Mountain Is You” making it a beautiful, breathtaking, and engaging song.

Early on, Chance captivates us with the sheer radiance of his voice.  He sings tenderly, making every lyric and every note count.  “I’ve become / A figment of my imagination,” he sings authentically in the first verse, continuing, “That’s why I run / Towards self-love and inner restoration.” Not only are the lyrics thoughtfully penned, but the melody is gorgeous as well.  The case is the same with the chorus, where the titular lyric appears, and Chance is transparent and vulnerable. The second verse is as compelling as the first with poetic lyrics and a marvelous tune.  However, it’s here where “The Mountain is You” reaches higher heights and ascends to the next level, growing dynamically and instrumentally. Chance’s vocals remain radiant but grow more commanding and powerful. “Oh, the mountain is you / Oh, you said, ‘The mountain is you’,” he sings in the outro. All in all, Chance Peña brings the heat on “The Mountain Is You”. It is truly a gorgeous and sincere indie-pop song.
