Playfully melodic guitar swipes and clap-laden percussion open “Honey,” a new single from Travis Black, based around the Portland, Oregon area. Debonair vocals and crunchy guitar distortion complement a bustling bass drive to start, escalating contagiously into the synth-laden “dreams may come, and dreams may go,” hook; the glimmering, spacey character captivates here, and diversifies enjoyably from the more rock-forward initial arsenal. Jay Freedman’s saxophone bolsters the commanding production even further, cementing the success that is “Honey.”
