Babe Lewis – “New Growth”
Babe Lewis, the solo project of Virginia based multi-instrumentalist Joseph Harder, is here is with an infectious indie-pop track, “New Growth,” and it is bursting with youthful wonder and a lust for life. Harder brings the powerful, positive, and poppy sonics with acoustic strumming; vocals delivered with a cool slacker vibe; lyrics that excite all the senses; percussion that tickles and pops while it pumps with a rhythm of an excited heart beat; and it’s all rooted with an lively smooth electric bass line. The song captures the spirit of wonder and pushes it right into your soul and down to your toes. Harder shifts and moves the instrumentation, keeping the effervescent feeling present and ever-tantalizing – the perfect example of this is the short burst of synth that leads into a delicious buzzy guitar solo. Harder’s goal for the song is clear and executed with such joy you won’t be able to keep yourself from “singing for the sake of the song,” here he is talking about “New Growth:”
“This song is about spring; emerging from hibernation, a new dawn, a new awareness.”
