Brayden Mullins – Yellow Light (Single Review)

Today’s review features Brayden Mullins’ new single “Yellow Light.” 

Brayden is a country artist hailing from Pound, Virginia, USA. An Appalachian artist with deep roots in country and bluegrass. He began his music journey at age 17 and claims wide influences from Keith Whitley and Townes Van Zandt to Korn and Pink Floyd. Brayden is known for his stripped-down arrangements and simple, but emotionally effective songwriting.

According to Brayden, the lyrics and stories behind songs are what bring the music to life. His music has been reviewed several times here on Music Review World. You can find those reviews here.

So let’s have a listen …

The song starts with a fiddle and acoustic guitar. The vocals are nice; he has a country rasp to his voice, which reminds me of Slaid Cleaves. I hear a dobro or steel guitar, and a piano in the mix; it creates a lovely sonic landscape in this track. I like the instrumental arrangement on this track. The lyrics are simple, but effective. Very nicely mixed and produced song.

SCORE/Excellent: I’m dancing in the yellow light after listening to Brayden Mullins’ new single “Yellow Light.” The instrument performances and simple, but emotionally effective, arrangement, complete with guitars, fiddles, steel/dobro, and piano create a complex soundscape for your ears! Definitely give this one a listen. Much love, Beth
