Not a new face on our blog, Shane Scarazzini emerges from Nashville with unmatched melancholia and nostalgia, channelling meaningful lyricism into irresistible Americana gems. Writing about ‘Free To Roam’, we previously declared: “Scarazzini seem perfectly at home in Country and Folk settings, championing steel guitars, fiddle and poignant vocals in an effort to create a relevant aural experience.” Now, the American talent returns with another wholesome, relatable masterpiece, the wholesome and evocative anthem ‘Sixteen’.
Built on steady drums, the song makes ample use of steel guitars and acoustic ones, drenching the listener in familiar, warm vibes. Luscious vocal harmonies accompany the track through its nuanced lyricism, with the chorus then raising the saturation charge and emotional intensity. Gladly, we return to soothing energy not long after.
Scarazzini’s vocals feel as majestic as always, so charismatic, friendly and easy to connect with. It’s his nostalgic tone that asks a topical question: “If you could go back and buy back the innocence you had in your youth, should you or would you do it? What would change? The serotonin bliss of your first love, the awe you had at the world around you – what if you could have that in your hands again?”
