Electro-Pop
Album Review: Andrew Farstar – Metamorphosis
‘Metamorphosis’ is not only the album name of Andrew Farstar‘s new musical adventure. It also represents a change of his music style into something different or contemporary. Nevertheless, that’s not a reason to dismiss his previous ballads, covers, and jazzy songs, which crossed frontiers. On the contrary, this positive transformation seeks the recognition of his remarkable versatility as an artist. Overall, ‘Metamorphosis’ is an album that offers an engaging rhythm in almost all its 8 tracks. Clearly, Andrew Farstar is moving forward with an Electro-Pop sound that will please the younger generation. However, above all this, what I liked the most was his trademark smooth vocals that will immediately capture your attention + the short stories behind the lyrics too!
The following is a track-by-track review of ‘Metamorphosis’.
1 – This Is How I Feel Everything starts with an easy to sing-along song. Here Andrew offers a pleasant experience for listeners and gives off the right vibe of today’s electronic pop music. In addition, I must confess the chorus is the catchiest part that keeps me singing.
2 – My infatuation (Love Vibration) Backed by claps and snaps in order to create an upbeat atmosphere. I can assure you the beat of this tune has grown on me straight away. Probably, it is the leading example of the fresh sound he wants to introduce to his fans. Below you can watch its music video.
3 – Love Is Maybe now things are changing a bit with the third track. Firstly, it features interesting Rap content from the collaboration of Dylan. However, the main vocals of Andrew clearly point out this is still an emotional track. On the other hand, its smooth flowing melody is perfect for those of you who want to chill out.
4 – Goodbye Is Not Forever (DJ Michael Russo Mix) This time the Australian singer goes one step further with a vocal club track. Deliciously, this party version mixed by Michael Russo will have zero problem getting feet to move.
5 – Being Human He wrote a beautiful song that should lead us to reflect about human values. Interestingly, the electronic direction he has taken allows him to sing with different tempos. This one is mellow in its three-minute length.
6 – Follow Your Heart (Dance Mix) Another EDM-oriented tune that could be defined as ‘ear-catching’. Somehow, it makes me think it’s the best song from the whole album. Sincerely, I’m addicted to the ‘oh-oh-oh’ vocal lines and the burst of energy it produces. Are you ready to dance all night long?
7 – Kimi Ni Oborete This is basically the Japanese version of track #2. On a side note, it counts with the participation of a talented female singer called Yuri. I do not speak Japanese but it sounds pretty well in my opinion.
8 – Goodbye Is Not Forever (New Mix) If I’m not wrong the last song of the ‘Metamorphosis’ album sounds more like the original version of track #4 and it’s obviously a ballad. This genre is the forté of Andrew and he gives the crowd a chance to feel romantic at the end of this excellent record.

With vocals that are radio-friendly and lyrics that everyone can relate to, Eva Spanko will capture your attention. “What Are We Now?” is a brand-new Electro-Pop track that encourages you to think about your love relationship.
Of course, she excels not only in singing but also in her ability to write powerful songs. The title itself, “What Are We Now?” implies uncertainty and a desire for clarity, which is something pretty common when you’re dating someone you really like. And sometimes this type of situation goes beyond a platonic relationship.
Personally, I admire her creativity in producing such an excellent composition that you can dance to and sing along with, especially during moments of introspection.
Unlike traditional poppy anthems that often celebrate the joys and excitement of being enamored, reflective love songs delve into the complexities, and bittersweet aspects of connections.
Without a doubt, “What Are We Now?” could be a perfect example of this subgenre of romantic songs. And that’s exactly the magic of music because there’s always a tune that can beautifully interpret the myriad emotions and experiences that love brings.
In addition, the music video showcases a simple and intimate choreography that explains it all.

Experience a wave of nostalgia as The Last Concorde and The Lightning Kids bring retro sounds to the table in their excellent collaboration “Back To You.” Let Emma Ballantine’s talented voice seduce your ears!
One way or another, “Back To You” takes listeners on a journey through the intricacies of unrequited love, beautifully encapsulating the essence of sun-soaked days and endless nights beneath the starry skies of 1980s California.
Nevertheless, in the official music video, the central characters of this tune find themselves amidst arcade machines on a set. Do you remember playing Pacman and Space Invaders back in your youth?
Perhaps, they are not as famous as Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus, but when you compose high-quality songs that doesn’t matter at all. Often, good artist are the ones who truly shine thanks to their craftsmanship and passion, regardless of how well-known they are.
Indeed, “Back To You” is like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. If you’re someone who can’t resist the allure of retro-infused melodies, just like me, then you’re in for an absolute musical treat with this specific track.
In conclusion, there’s nothing better than listening to vintage synthesizers and well-written lyrics on an ongoing basis.
