“Behave” is an invigorating rocker from Soheill, the Nashville-based artist who impressed last year with the single “Can’t Stop Thinking.” Crunchy guitar distortion accompanies relatively understated vocals to start, while emitting an evolving unbridled quality tonally and lyrically — “I don’t know if I can behave.” The resistance grows into a sweltering chorus packed with an ardent vocal rise and continuing guitar-based pulsations. An added guitar line, past the one-minute mark, oozes melodic ’90s nostalgia. “Behave” never lets go with its guitar-based ferocity, riveting vocal intensity, and sturdy rock-forward production. I’m continuing to anticipate future releases from Soheill, who is releasing singles throughout 2021.
Per Soheill: ““Behave” was inspired by reaching a point where you tell yourself, “Enough is enough!” I really want people to feel what I felt when I wrote this song and hopefully can use it as a catalyst for the kind of change they’re seeking in their life.”
