Ron Briskin’s career so far might not be a long one, but it sure has been intense: debuting in 2021, the Israeli talent greatly showcased his relatable storytelling style, drenched in friendly mellow rock tones and fuzzy guitars. Is he the new Springsteen we were looking for? There’s a good chance he might be. To find out, let’s dive into the London resident’s latest effort, ‘New Year’s Eve’.
A poignant and nostalgic offering, the track explores indie territories and the occasional electronic element, still echoing Briskin’s charming rock imprint. Notably, his vocals pair very well with the arrangement, especially through the catchy songwriting. Lyrically, the track focuses on the universal experience of loneliness, particularly in the face of the holiday season.
Briskin, drawing on his own personal experiences, asks the question: is it truly worth it to go out and party if it means being surrounded by people who do not truly understand us? The song speaks to the fundamental human desire for connection and understanding, encouraging us to seek out those who truly matter to us.
Going back to our initial question, is he the new Bruce Springsteen? We’d say he’s an improved version of it. Now based in the UK, Ron Briskin is set to bigger and brighter things – look out for him!
