Cole Blundin, Miles | Song Review 🎵

Pop singer/songwriter Cole Blundin ‘knocks it out of the park’ on his entertaining and well-rounded debut solo single, “Miles.”

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”“W” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]ill you ever be more than a destination baby?” A destination Cole Blundin? That sounds like an ultra-familiar app with a distinct sound effect. In his debut single, “Miles”, the handsome and talented Berklee College of Music grad is falling for this guy. He is seeking more than just hooking up. The fun and refreshing “Miles” was written and produced by Blundin.[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

“Miles” has ample positives.  The production is sleek – superbly executed by Blundin.  It begins with a danceable, thudding, four-on-the-floor groove which evolves into more.  Later, there’s a sickening saxophone solo with jazzy piano comping. The sound palette and arrangement are ear-catching.  Besides his work behind the boards, Cole sings fabulously.  His tone is beautiful, rich, and robust.  He sings with ample expression without overreaching. He serves up some fine vocal ad-libs and delivers colorful vocal effects.  That leaves the songwriting, which is a vibe itself.  The lyrics are flirty, playful, and sexy but tasteful. My favorite verse is the second where Cole is ‘catching feelings’ for him: “My mom caught on / I smiled too much / Now you’re the subject of 20 questions.” Aww! The best section is the chorus which is catchy as albeit:

“Miles

Why you gotta be miles away?

All I think about

Is ways to make you stay

Hey, Miles

Why you gotta be miles away?

There’s no holdin’ back

Road’s already paved

So, give me the distance

I’ll do the miles.”

Cole Blundin serves up a sickening two-and-a-half-minute bop with “Miles”.  Bravo!
