In the form of his single “Road Trip” award winning South African Singer and Songwriter extraordinaire Vaughn Prangley has unleashed one of the most whimsical,
joyous, effervescent and uplifting slices of Pop oriented Alternative Rock that you are likely to hear this year.
Taken from his 2022 debut album “Destination Unknown” this heavenly piece of saccharine songcraft is a paean to the open road and adventure. “Road Trip” is a
titilating tapestry of tinkling keys, sizzling strumming, upbeat percussion and Prangley’s simultaneously earthy yet breezy vocals which are fantastic to behold.
With the rousing refrain of “Come On! Come On!” threading its way through the chorus one is imbued with a sense of undiluted sunshine and warmth, the type that
cuts through the at times jaded nature that tends to capture one in its merciless grasp from time to time.
“Road Trip” is an anthem to youth, vigour, vibrancy and exploration written and performed by an 18 year old that is undeniably etched
with the type of experience and expertize that are odds with his years.
Age, knowledge and in this case musical acumen are not synonymous with another for Vaughn has the chops, vocal prowess and propulsive song-craft of a seasoned veteran and I know for a fact that this radio ready treasure trove of pleasure seeking Alternative Pop is poised to dominate!
Get on this garrulous and glistening slice of syrupy songcraft and now!
