Garth Adam, an Australian singer-songwriter, has recently released his EP “Say You’ll Come With Me,” which has been well-received by critics and listeners alike. Born in the UK, Adam spent his early childhood in Africa and Fiji before settling in Australia, where he honed his musical talents. His music is a blend of his life experiences and influences, and he has been extremely prolific with his songwriting over the past few years.
The EP “Say You’ll Come With Me” was recorded at Melvin Tree’s studio in Perth, Western Australia, where 90% of the equipment was made before 1975, giving the recording a warm, vintage feel. The mastering was done by Kathy Naunton at Db Mastering Camperdown Sydney, adding even more flavor to the mix.
The title track, “Say You’ll Come With Me,” is a mellow and heartwarming song with a folk feel. The smooth sounds warm the room, and beautiful backing vocals from Lisa and Keely O’Brien add another layer to the cozy vibe. The song “Tell Me One Thing” is a more peppy rocker with a fun feel to it, and Adam delivers a happy and positive taste in his lyrical delivery. The EP closes with “Forever And A Day,” a song where the warmth of the studio really shines through.
Critics have praised the EP for its honest, exceptional songcraft, and warm, vulnerable tunes. The title track begins with soft piano and subtle acoustic guitar that braves more solid chords when the vocals kick in. The song “Say You’ll Come With Me” is a melodic pop-rock masterpiece that captures the essence of escapism, inviting listeners to get away from the mundane and embrace the beauty of freedom.
Adam’s music is not overly polished or overly lo-fi, but rather a perfect blend that appeals to a wide range of listeners. His music has been compared to a blend of the Foo Fighters, Crowded House, and Damien Rice, showcasing the range of styles in his releases.
