Kelsey Montanez – Rolling Stone

“Rolling Stone” is a new song by Kelsey Montanez, a Chicago-based singer-songwriter. It serves as a perfect follow-up to “I Sold My Soul,” “Right Time To Win,” and “Mr. Crybaby,” three outstanding singles released earlier this year. However, it also delivers many innovations in songwriting, composing, arranging, and producing. Soundwise, Kelsey Montanez combines a singer-songwriter approach with the finest elements of classic rock sound. Still, don’t be surprised if you stumble upon some other sonic ingredients borrowed from alternative, blues, soft rock, and rock ‘n’ roll. Montanez used these additional elements as more than necessary enhancements, accentuations, decorations, and other details, while she remained loyal to the primary sonic direction. Therefore, these experimentations with different styles resulted in a profoundly emotive song that will appeal to even the pickiest classic rock fans.

Her outstanding vocal performance is the centerpiece, emphasizing all the instrumentations with perfectly balanced low, mid, and high notes. The way she decorates each segment goes beyond comprehension so many times during the entire song. Of course, Kelsey Montanez thought about the instrumentations, and you’ll hear how cleverly arranged chord progressions, riffs, leads, and melodies serve as a perfect backdrop for her vocal performance. There’s a thick layer of equally complex, vividly hearable, warm-sounding basslines lurking right beneath the guitars, offering more than necessary heaviness, depth, and clarity. “Rolling Stone” wouldn’t sound this good without magnificent drumming performance based upon moderate, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other rhythmic maneuvers that provide groove and pace, but also keep the remainder of instrumentations in line. Kelsey Montanez thought about even the tiniest details while writing, composing, arranging, and producing her latest track, and the effort paid off in a mesmerizing piece of sonic artistry that will immediately grab your attention.

You should put “Rolling Stone” on your radar as soon as possible because Kelsey Montanez invested nothing but brilliant ideas and exceptional musicianship. Accompanied by storytelling lyricism, this song sounds sincere, confident, emotive, and powerful at the same time. Also, this track will suit those listeners who are into blues rock because her soulful vocal performance and bluesy guitars resonate from beginning to end with such finesse and precision. Through “Rolling Stone,” Kelsey Montanez proves she’s one of the best artists on the contemporary classic rock scene. The single is available on all streaming platforms. Don’t miss it!
