‘Cheyenne’ won’t take long to completely mesmerize the listeners. Introduced by an anthemic gallop of drums and fiddles with a rock counterpart, the track is incredibly vibey and cathartic, empowering Justin Ready’s artistry towards higher territories. His deep, evocative vocal tone is an absolute treat, providing an immersive listening experience that seems to connect directly with one’s inner self.
Channelling Americana, country and classic rock, ‘Cheyenne’ is one of the best records we have heard in December, and we are confident we are not the only ones thinking that. Echoing a lost era, the single delves into nostalgic memories of Midwest imagery, as Ready explains: “I made a conscious effort to incorporate some of the influence and desolate imagery of the Midwest, the expanse of the prairie, and also the destruction of the natural landscape as more and more of the area gets turned over and flattened into farmland.”
Such gritty and melancholic lyricism mirrors perfectly into the song’s sonic qualities, making Justin a majestic, charismatic figure, standing at the edge of time and history. Based in Louisiana, he’s pretty much in his element here, a characteristic that helps him draw from personal experience and a more extensive philosophical reckoning.
