706) Jared Evan - Role Model

Like its name suggests, "Role Model" deals with finding the answers in life by following an admired figure. What most listeners wouldn't guess, though, is that it was written through younger Evan's point-of-view to who he is now (or who he was when the song was released). Having grown up with obstacles, the singer seeks guidance in his future self and asks him questions about his stability and well-being. The track's refreshing concept, down-to-earth writing, and bright melodies work great together and make us feel inspired and optimistic. With that said, this piece carries some dark undertones despite its vibrant sound, especially hints of sorrow and regret in the last verse of it. The music video corresponds with this; it starts as a nonchalant presentation of two friends and turns into a tale of betrayal and guilt. Listening to the track and watching its video is a very rich experience. Much recommended!
Enjoy! ♪
