REVIEW: Brandon Poletti – ‘Thinking Of The Past’

Over these last few years, Australian singer-songwriter Brandon Poletti has established himself as one of the more revered additions to the folk-country scene. With countless praise and acclaim for his work, including his group Brandon Poletti and the Eagleton Brothers winning Best Country Group at the WA country music awards last year, his place on the international stage has been growing exponentially in recent times. And with that buzz continuing to build, he is back once again to deliver his eagerly-awaited new EP ‘Thinking Of The Past’, a collection that heightens that passionate nature of his.

Much like what the previously shared singles ‘Craving’, ‘Move Away’ and ‘Slow Down’ looked to showcase, ‘Thinking Of The Past’ finds the frontman in a brilliantly fresh and riveting guise throughout. Adopting a heady blend of tender croons and more lively anthems as it plays, this new five-track collection instantly cements itself as one of his more adventurous to date. Whether he is looking to draw us in with his emotive prose or cranking up the energy for euphoric crowd-pleasers, Brandon Poletti takes it all on with style and grace at every turn.

It has certainly been a busy time for him recently, but ‘Thinking Of The Past’ shows he is still very much on top of his creative game right now. Brimming with such warmth and vigour within his songwriting once again, he remains a solid addition to today’s new music scene once again here.
