The debut single from Canadian band Hope Slide, “Something Changed” is a moody success that “captures the agony, confusion, hope and elation that come with a metamorphosis.” String-laden infusions alongside delicate piano makes for a stirring background to the multiple vocal layers, caressing with their refrains. The final minute rouses especially with the impassioned vocals and beautiful collision of instrumentation, crafting a sense of catharsis that lingers. The compelling track has us firmly anticipating the band’s upcoming debut EP.
