Music Review: Henry Moodie Strikes Emotional Chords with ‘Closure’
Following the success of his debut single ‘You Were There For Me,’ released in June 2022, Henry Moodie continues to captivate audiences with his latest release, ‘Closure.’ Known for his emotionally raw songwriting, Moodie effortlessly connects with listeners, delving into the depths of the heart once again. With ‘Closure,’ he reaffirms his place as a promising talent leaving a lasting impression on the music industry.
Hailing from Guildford, UK, the now 18 year old singer-songwriter has been crafting tunes since the age of 14, gaining recognition on TikTok for his unique cover songs with the twist of original lyrics! With an impressive following of over 5.9 million on TikTok and 1.6 million on Instagram, he has become one of the most followed emerging artist in the UK on both platforms.
The new single ‘Closure’ was written and produced entirely by Moodie in the confines of his bedroom, showcasing his multifaceted talent. The song starts on an intentionally minimal style production which works great with the emotions the artist is trying to express. The song production then grows to a fuller sound around the half way mark with the beats kicking in. This brings in a nice variation which pulls in the listener even further into the song.
Moodie, being a fan of Ed Sheeran and Adele does reflect the same sincerity in his songwriting. Consistency and honesty are key in his songwriting. The lyrics are direct and on point, steering clear of any abstract elements or often elusive ‘open to interpretation’ style of writing. The lyrics balance out the pain related to a broken relationship without veering into a tone of blame or harshness. The title ‘Closure’ itself resonates and relates as it is something we all seek it at some point in our lives.
The vocal performance seems to be even better than his previous releases.
The music video is a high speed style video, where the creative use of lighting throughout the video adds an extra layer of depth. Clearly, Moodie has elevated his game with the video treatment and production design, creating an engaging experience for his audience.
As he continues to carve his path in the music industry, Henry Moodie’s blend of authenticity and creativity positions him as an artist to watch closely.
