Ryan Mack, Follow | Track Review 🎵

Although it is brief, Irish pop singer/songwriter Ryan Mack delivers an enjoyable, potent single with “Follow.”

According to Irish pop singer/songwriter 🎙 Ryan Mack (Ryan McLoughlin), “You’re what my whole damn world revolves around / You are the air in my lungs.” Damn! My first experience with Ryan – his music, just to be clear – was when he characterized himself as a 🎵 “Sad F🤬ck” 😬. His words, not mine! He’s much more PG-rated on 🎵 “Follow”, written with 🎼 ✍ Joseph Warriner, and Will Vaughan.  Likewise, it was produced by Mack, Warriner, and Vaughn.

“Follow” is brief.  Even so, Ryan Mack brings the heat 🔥. There is a fab driving groove from the onset, which makes the ears perk up. In the verses, Mr. Mack is cool, calm, collected, and smooth from a vocal perspective.  He ups the ante more during the chorus, fittingly, without ever over-singing 💪.  Melodically, “Follow” features a fast-paced, rhythmic melody, which is cool.  In the second verse, we get some sweet pop trickery – strings 🎻 playing after the lyric, “When I look at you I hear an orchestra”, and harmonized vocals. The crème de la crème – the crowning achievement – is the memorable chorus:

“I follow, follow you, in a heartbeat

I won’t, I won’t stop, ‘til I can’t breathe

Wherever you are, yeah, that’s where I’ll be

Follow, follow, follow, you in a heartbeat.”

Ryan Mack is a good singer, period.  Truly, more people should – wait for it – FOLLOW him. 🎵 “Follow” may be brief but it’s potent, baby!
