Empire Of One CD review

 

 

 

CD Review for Empire Of One:

 

At first glance, Empire of One seems like the type of band that could easy be seen on the Top 40 charts of today. Even though you will be sure to see them there one day, they go much deeper than that. The first track off of their self-titled EP “Empire of One”, evokes visions of national bands like Theory of a Dead Man and U2. However ‘If I Let Myself Dream’ has an unexpected ska vibe to it that is very pleasant to hear. The second track entitled ‘Roam’ is a longing ballad featuring hopeful guitar parts and emotional vocals. This track is definitely one to check out. The EP ends with ‘I’m Still Here’, a catchy, alternative tune that highlights the feel of the album. The song’s despairing lyrics are offset by rhythmic, upbeat guitar parts. Which is a very refreshing way to wrap up this EP.

 

Empire of One has a sound all their own. They have created and EP of songs with big name influences you’ll definitely recognize. Their melodies and lyrics could transverse any boundary. This is one band that would be sure to turn heads in any bar.

Empire Of One, MT Press

Wil Seabrook's band Empire of One’s newest single “Better Than,” the second release off of their self-titled debut album “Empire of One.” A heartening and romantic track about the willingness to fight for the right person, the lyrics lend themselves to the melodic piano, layered on top of the genuine and raw warmth that lead vocalist and frontman Wil Seabrook brings to every song. It’s a sweet cascade of emotions, wrapped around the budding and electrifying guitar riffs (Luke Thomas) and understated fills of drums (Alexander E. Gonzalez ), and bass (Darwin Johnson) for an insightful ballad that is sure to draw you in upon first listen.

Wil Seabrook, the founder of Empire of One, is a dedicated musician that has had many years of experience in the industry. Wil’s accomplishments cover a vast landscape of projects, including previously being signed to a major label deal with Maverick, and touring extensively throughout the US and Europe with bands like Sister Hazel and Dave Matthews. The search for his ideal sound led him to work with producers like Lior Goldenberg (Sheryl Crow/Macy Gray) and to appear as a stellar performer and contestant on the first seasons of Rock Star INXS. Each new experience in the industry led him to form Empire of One, using his knowledge and a combination of the sounds that have inspired him over the years to create their dynamic debut EP “Empire of One.” The album delivers carefully crafted pop songs that show an incredible sense of melody, with the same building choruses and emotional lyricism that one would find in the music of the iconic band U2, as well as radio friendly The Fray and The Script.
