Single Review
Tripp - River Phoenix
Trip – River Phoenix

What do we have here, an artist called Trip with an single called ‘River Phoenix’ and the artwork on the front features a man spraying aftershave down the front of his finest pair of top man boxer shorts that he is proudly wearing, which led me to believe that the song was going to be quite a witty tune.

I wasn’t far wrong as ‘River Phoenix’ is a real fun track which tales a tale about an opportunity lost, the lyrics are like a rollercoaster effect with the way that one minute they are positive and the next they are negative with that good old up and down effect, the song is very melodic and the more you listen to it the more it will grow on you, the first time I listened to it I thought I was listening to someone who really wanted to be Mike Skinner from The Streets, but now I have listened to it a few more times it has proper grown on me and makes for an enjoyable listen.

Overall ‘River Phoenix’ is a nice melodic track, the lyrics will be spinning around your head nonstop and it’s the perfect song to listen to sat out in your garden enjoying a nice cold pint of cider whilst experiencing the first few hot days of the year. Trip is definitely an artist that I will be watching very closely over the next few months just to see what else he comes up with.

4/5
