Victoria Moralez Brings The Pop Flavour With “Eyes Off The Prize”

resh pop singer Victoria Moralez is back with her single ‘Eyes Off The Prize‘. It is a release which cements the singer’s name deeper into pop, and her delivery is hard to resist.Infectious and charming is probably the best way I can sum up this piece. It has just about something for everybody with a direction which many do not head down. Pop is the sole focus though with plenty of pop nostalgia making the mix. However, funk and rocky influences are also apparent with the singer often providing raw sounds and new emotion within her vocal deliveries.
Kicking off the track is a thumping drum hit which taps along with a synth lead which appears and a guitar lead which excites. We are then with a top-class vocal from Victoria who sings in an agile fashion. The beat then increases, and the tempo rises quite substantially, but to our surprise, it drops back to a slower pace with a short break with just a harmony being present. The guitar lead we hear is angelic, and it adds even more emotion to the track.
The structure is unusual. It is not often we hear this type of approach with a song like this one. The chorus is faster, but yet it always heads back down to earth. Sometimes, it feels like it is building up to something which never materialises. It would have been good for it to have built up to something even more massive. Nevertheless, it does catch, and we find ourselves gripping onto the journey with every word and sounds adding heaps of value.
Overall, a track which opens our imagination and one which I am sure will be sticking around for quite some time.
Five out of five – George James.
