“Something Will Happen” is amongst the many highlights on Adam James‘ new album, Another Side of Paradise. The “get me out of this Tinseltown,” yearning melds well with the album’s enjoyable themes of escapism and finding one’s personal paradise. We noted in our album feature, “Something Will Happen” charms as a psychedelic, impactful album opener. Harmonious backing vocals and reversed guitar tones move into a gentle acoustic drive. Lyrical reference to being at “the crossroads,” adds an enjoyable introspection to the twangy guitar tones and weepy vocal feeling. “I had enough of this emptiness,” the vocals traverse more familiarly, arriving into a gorgeous title-laden sequence with caressing synths and flourishing woodwinds.
