Within just 30 seconds, we are treated to one of the best choruses we’ve experienced in a while; The velvet vocals are effortlessly emotive, possessing a timeless quality that immediately draws us in. But what is this about? Apologies for getting absorbed in the track’s beauty and starting off in an unorthodox way. Let’s dive into it: Rough Patch by Lance Tingey (lancetingey.com/), an alt pop singer and songwriter hailing from Salt Lake City, UT, and San Francisco.

This gemis a stunning example of adult contemporary meets acoustic folk, with an effortless melodic line, ideally balanced arrangement, and great lyrics that hit close to home. Tingey draws inspiration from his own doubts and questions regarding his religion, and it’s evident in the raw and honest emotion that he pours into every line. The vocal performance is highly memorable, unleashing an authenticity that is simply mesmerizing.

Earworm on repeat….
