Birmingham's alt-rock quartet, Five O Fives, continue their sonic exploration with the release of their latest single, 'Hypnotised'. This mesmerizing track, available on all major streaming platforms now, dives into the complexities of infatuation and the blinding power of love.
Penned and performed by the band's dynamic core – Alice Bloor (vocals), Andreas Mouzourides (lead guitar), Nico Pickard (bass), and Joel Faulkner (drums) – 'Hypnotised' was brought to life at Lower Lane Studios with the expert guidance of Jonny Price, and polished by Sam Bloor through mixing and mastering. The result is a sonic journey that seamlessly blends raw emotion with infectious melodies.
Following in the footsteps of their previous hit, 'Short Changed', 'Hypnotised' takes a deeper dive into the often-turbulent waters of relationships. The song captures the essence of being utterly captivated by a partner, even to the point of being oblivious to the stark realities that others perceive. Lead singer Alice Bloor's vocals soar with both vulnerability and conviction, drawing listeners into the heart of this emotional whirlwind.
Musically, 'Hypnotised' is a tour de force. Andreas Mouzourides' guitar work weaves a tapestry of intricate riffs and soaring solos, while Nico Pickard's bassline provides a solid foundation upon which Joel Faulkner's energetic drumming builds. The song's dynamic arrangement ebbs and flows, mirroring the emotional rollercoaster it describes.
In a statement, the band shared their inspiration behind the new single, sharing, "We wanted to capture that feeling of being so completely consumed by someone that you lose sight of everything else. It's a song about the intoxicating power of love, but also the danger of being blinded by it."
With its infectious hooks, evocative lyrics, and undeniable energy, 'Hypnotised' is poised to become another anthem for those navigating the complexities of love and relationships. Five O Fives once again prove their ability to craft music that resonates on a deeply personal level, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what they have in store next.
