I’m a big fan of rock and high-energy music, especially when I can really feel the songwriter’s emotion in the lyrics. “Blame Me” is the latest single by singer and songwriter, Shawn Fox. It’s a song about young love and desire, and according to Fox’s Instagram, is about his relationship with his fiance. Fox says the song chronicles their love story. And what really surprised me is that this is only Fox’s second released song! It’s incredible, and makes me feel like he’s been releasing music for years. So, I absolutely loved how he’s incorporating his appreciation for his loved ones through his music from the start. It’s refreshing.
“Blame Me”, as I said, is a pretty high-energy and impactful song. The production for this was insane. The song featured several guitar solos, and was essentially pulled together and wrapped in a neat little bow thanks to production mastermind, Will Carlson. When the chorus first began, I’ll admit, I was worried the instrumentals would drown out Fox’s voice. However, once he started to sing the first lyric in the chorus, I could feel the power and emotion in his voice. Fox has an incredible tone to his voice, transcending over the instrumentals, so I felt that Fox absolutely nailed this.
Shawn Fox is a singer and songwriter, who as I said earlier, has only one other song on his repertoire. Fox first released his debut single, “The Party Is Over”, last year. Today, it has nearly 30,000 streams on Spotify. According to Fox, a lot of his songwriting inspiration stems from artists like Ryan Tedder and Jon Bellion. I’ll admit, I can definitely hear a bit of Bellion in his lyrics. Fox is a self-taught musician, who first learned how to play several instruments on YouTube, which I think is awesome! I love getting to see people who have worked hard for their dreams finally see them come to fruition, and I think Fox’s career is only going to skyrocket from here. Go and stream “Blame Me” everywhere, today!
