“Over You” is the second by The Project, a Californian band helmed by James Davis, a lead guitarist of the 00s hard rock group Shameless. It’s a perfect follow-up of the “Best Days,” a critically acclaimed debut single that gathered 260,000 streams and almost 40,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Soundwise, “Over You,” follows the footsteps of a previous number. It showcases the fundamentals of eighties and nineties hard rock, with many additions borrowed from the modern rock sound. Of course, you’ll notice how classic rock, glam rock, rock ‘n’ roll, and alternative found their way into this sonic equation. The Project uses these additional sonic ingredients as more than necessary enhancements, accentuations, decorations, and other details that unquestionably uplift this song on an entirely new level, while the artist remains loyal to the primary sonic direction. These experimentations with different but complementary rock subgenres resulted in a mesmerizing, energetic, ear-appealing composition that will appeal to any true rock fan and beyond.

You’ll be amazed by precise riffs, chord progressions, melodies, themes, and leads, which serve as a perfect backdrop for the mentioned vocal performance. The guitars sound so heavy and powerful from scratch to finish, making this song catchy and ear-appealing. Of course, you’ll hear how the equally complex, vividly hearable, warm-sounding basslines provide heaviness, depth, and clarity, while the exceptional drumming performance based upon moderate, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics offer groove and pace.
