Review of My Awesome Compilation's CD "Awake"

My Awesome Compilation: Awake

If a hazy summer's evening chilling out with friends could be bottled into a sound and made into a song, the third single to be taken from Leicestershire's My Awesome Compilation's album 'Actions', 'Awake' could very well be it. Laidback guitars and relaxed drumbeats perfectly compliment the quiet, catchy choruses that you won't be able to get out of your head, without being aware of how they arrived there in the first place.

'Awake' has a quiet, anthemic quality to it, like the laid back sibling to the louder, more energetic tunes from the likes of Fall Out Boy and Blink 182. It's the kind of song that you find yourself falling in love with without even realising it, sweeping you off your feet not with a huge overblown gesture, but a simpler, more thoughtful one. This is the quiet, unassuming talent of My Awesome Compilation. They deliver powerful, irresistible summer tunes such as Awake in such a humble way that will endear them to anyone who listens to them.

'Awake' is not big or bold, daring or different, but it's infectiously irresistible with a quiet, charming modesty about it that will capture your heart and have you humming it unaware. Enjoy.
