Song Review/ Folk Country : Clayton Bellamy’s ‘I Miss Tom Petty’
Clayton Bellamy is a feel-good singer-songwriter and folk country artist. Most of all, he’s a storyteller. His effortless ability to create immersive frames and vivid imagery forms such a core part of his music. That’s how he draws the listeners in, storytelling with simplicity and sentiment. His latest release is ‘I Miss Tom Petty’, a track that calls back to the old days. Slathered generously with nostalgia, it’s a song that passionately recollects devices, encounters, artists and memories of time past that have now become extinct.
The musical scenes that he paints in a single verse is so instantly relatable and revives an object like a cassette player or CDs in an instant. The song is like a shoebox of memories, especially for the millennials. With instrumentals that curve with the vocal sentiment, you can travel back in time and live out your childhoods again. Especially if you put it in a car as you’re driving around, you can really get lost in the world of lost objects that the artist brings to life. Listeners of John Mayer and Steve Earle, you’re sure to love this artist. Listen Now!
