Emi Larraud, Religion Tonight | Song Review 🎵

It’s incredibly easy to believe and invest in what 22-year-old alternative artist Emi Larraud sells on his first single of 2024, “Religion Tonight.” 

“Ineed something to believe in / You’ll be my religion tonight.” Well, at least Emi Larraud acknowledges believing in something is important.  It’s not God, mind you, but clearly, this person – this entity – is worth putting faith into. And, likely, more than faith… Anyways, religious beliefs aside, with “Religion Tonight”, the 22-year-old artist, originally from Madrid, Spain,  but bred in Austin, Texas, continues to release captivating music. Can I get an amen, somebody!

What makes “Religion Tonight” something to believe in? Starting with the handsome, talented fella himself, he’s working with a strong instrument.  The vocal tone is fabulous.  The depth of his lower and middle register = sweet.  Residing in the lower register more in the first verse, there’s more contrast in the second.  Furthermore, boding in Emi’s favor are the tuneful melodies in the verses and chorus.  The pacing also serves Larraud well as “Religion Tonight” allows the instrumental time to shine too.  Speaking of the instrumental, the production is another selling point.  The groove = epic.  Danceable vibes thanks to said groove? You bet! Lovely synths? Check, check, check! All told, if you haven’t joined the Emi Larraud train, it’s time! Get you some of that Larraud “Religion Tonight”! Hallelujah!
