Esimorp was one of my favourite musical discoveries last year so I was keen to discover what the solo music from bass guitarist Paul Roth sounded like. I got my first taste recently when the Central Coast-born Hong Kong-based singer-songwriter released his first single of the year, “Still.”
“Still” is such a cool track. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but you just see if you’re not tapping your toes in time as it builds. I hear a touch of gospel and soul influences that add richness to the track’s infectious groove.
“This was one of those songs that really all just came together in one sitting, I instantly fell for the rhythm and harmony combo and each melody flowed exactly how I would like,” he explained.
“Still” is the first of several songs Paul plans to release this year. I can’t wait to hear what else he’s got in store for us!
