It was the tail end of summer when we featured ‘Tranquility’ by English troubadour Asgard Raven. Since then, he’s been quietly sitting on a new record, a track that seems to keep his Britpop tendencies at bay, in favour of a more expansive and authentic alt-blues imprint. Well, the time has now come, and ‘What Will Be, Will Be’ is out in the world. In it, the keen listener will rejoice at Raven’s fuzzy and rolling guitar sounds, together with warm, fierce vocals.
In fact, vocals deliver a healthy amount of distortion too, an effect that goes very well with Asgard’s tone, making it deeper and sharper. The result is a vibrant and energetic concoction of sounds that are bound to connect with a wide range of listeners, from rock heads to eclectic pop lovers. Lyrically, we are in freedom-driven territories, with the British creative seeking to empower listeners to pursue their dreams and inner worth.
As he explains: “There comes a point in life where we have a moment of reflection on what we’ve achieved and what we have yet to accomplish. What Will Be, Will Be is about that switch from passive living to active pursuit of our dreams, and the desire to enjoy every moment of whatever time we have in this world.”
