Chris Aleshire, a singer-songwriter based in Baltimore and he is artist of Red Skies Mourning, who plays the piano and guitar; in the cover of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” Aleshire reminds listeners about the importance of getting up, even when it is hard.
In the cover, Aleshire shares a very personal experience that many people go through of trying to move on even with the struggles that one faces in life. Supported by warm, resonant organic tones composed solely by Aleshire who also plays an array of instruments, his expressive voice is the highlight. They infuse such melodies into the lyrics so that the song becomes something that you can feel in your soul. In it, however, there is also a strand of optimism—an echo of the search for the bright in the dark at the heart of life. This ability to expose raw human emotion while also keeping the story hopeful is part of the reason Red Skies Mourning and their brand of pop-infused storytelling connect so deeply. Sourcing his inspiration from multiple genres, he combines the various genre into carefully woven layers of upbeat pop.
Although he has not got the chance to record his music for other major outlets, Aleshire continues to practice and refine his skills through selected independent recordings. Of course, this cover does so wisely with current trends and introduces new listeners to his capabilities. They are an excellent way for people who have not had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with his talents to do so. Through eagerly anthemic “Beautiful Things,” Red Skies Mourning delivers a message of hope via melodiously powerful means. This suggests more ladder steps to conquer for the future artist with the skills, songs, and ideas to establish himself in the genre. Everyone eagerly wants to know what new level he will bring with his upcoming debut album.
