Rock-hooks, Texas singer-songwriter Mark Winters has always written with masterful precision. Still, his latest batch of tunes on the “Man In The Sky” release presents that skill in clear, bold light, capturing a tone that is both intimate and expansive at once. “Man In The Sky” combines Winters’s earnest, yet grounded, vocals with an instrumental that keeps soaring and provides some anthemic drama. There’s a steady thrum under this all, as if she wants me to lie down beside each beat, to reach out and touch something bigger than myself.
What feels most distinctive about this release is the rock roots from Winters are all over the bouncy guitar lines. There’s a reflective quality to the lyrics that cuts through, the type of song that would sound just as appropriate blaring down car speakers on an open highway as it would filling a quiet room with its introspective hum. The production adds to that bipolarity, crisp and powerful, without losing the warmth of Winters’s voice.
“Man In The Sky” is a recollection of the ancient bond that has always united music with emotion and with meaning. Winters opens the door and lets strength and vulnerability stand shoulder to shoulder, giving a message that both fit her struggles and resonates with a broader audience. His Texas roots show in the rawness of his delivery, and the song’s surging, widescreen energy sends his sound into even grander, more cinematic territory. Mark Winters once again puts on an exhibit of why his music is most potent when he unites emotion and melody.
