Skender Beck – Stuck In The Sky (2022)
Hailing from Albania, but now residing in the USA, singer-songwriter Skender Beck has a hypnotic rock-inspired sound for a modern-day audience. While being inspired by various rock artists and genre styles, Skender Beck has honed a unique, intriguing sound of his own. With his debut album Stars Aligned (released in 2020), the US-based musician began building a loyal following across the globe. The latest addition to his discography is the single ‘Stuck In The Sky’.
The first release in two years, ‘Stuck In The Sky’ is an evolution of sound for Skender Beck. From the first chord, ‘Stuck In The Sky’ hits you between the eyes with its rock flair. Building a sense of anticipation with the instrumental opening, the arrangement leads you into a misty sonic forest ready for a journey with Skender Beck. Laidback and soothing, you enter this forest with Skender Beck strong vocals leading the way. However, the soothing flow of the track is no certainty as you take a rollercoaster ride from pounding drums to endearing percussion – all slathered with Skender Beck’s rich vocals.
Slightly reminiscent of Beck when it comes to vocals, the dulcet tones are soul-stirring and meld effortlessly with the heavy instrumentation. Interestingly enough, while the track has a contemporary rock feeling to it, there is a tinge of old-school classic rock in the mix – a sense of nostalgic familiarity with modern-day freshness. Moreover, just as the melody has diversity in its elegant melody, it aligns perfectly with the theme of uncertainty.
Described as “an ode to the uncertainties of life…hesitant decisions and status quo”, ‘Stuck In The Sky’ is what it says on the tin – being stuck in the sky of confusion and discontent. Skender Beck’s vocals have a melancholic tinge so you can really feel the frustration, anxiety and desperation of the protagonist.
Tender, sincere, sentimental and filled with emotion, Skender Beck lifts you into another dimension with his intimate track ‘Stuck In The Sky’.
In addition to the track, Skender Beck released an official lyrics video for ‘Stuck In The Sky’. You can view it below or on his official YouTube Channel.
