Country Crooner Matt Basile Boldly Reimagines Classic Rock Song on “Someday”-With his soulful baritone voice and his ability to breathe new life into songs that have been sung a thousand times, Matt Basile is a singer-songwriter who has no boundaries when it comes to music genres, and with his latest cover of “Someday,” he is once again proving why he is one of America’s most versatile artists.
On “Someday,” Basile mines new meaning from an unlikely source: The Strokes’ rock classic “Someday” – with countrified touches of pedal steel and percussion. Additional voices complement Basile’s baritone to the extent that it can be described as breathtaking. Featured on Basile’s Feet to the Fire album, “Someday” takes advantage of the singer’s ability to add new perspectives to familiar tunes. His strengths include ‘strong narration’ and ‘compelling melodic line’ that takes the listeners through ‘emotional rides. ’
As always, Basile does not conform to the norm in this one; he takes a calculated gamble here that pays off in a creative manner. His interpretation does not deviate from the lyrics’ message of youth and change but brings the feel of experience. For the old and the new fans, “Someday” is a revelation of the versatility of Basile. A real bridge builder in art, he points out that it is not necessary to dismiss cross-genre when it is in the service of deep songs. Americana has a great future ahead of her with Basile at the helm of the microphone.
