From Bilbao, singer-songwriter and poet Angela Aux has completely won us over with the warm, vintage mood of his latest single, “Take It Somewhere.”

The song quickly fades in on a synthy dreamscape before promptly breaking into an acoustic wonderland, complete with Angela Aux’s sweet and spirited vocal performance. He has been blessed with a voice that sounds like home, no matter where you’re from, conjuring the vibes of John Lennon, Father John Misty, and even Fleet Foxes– regardless of your musical preferences, you are going to find something you love here.

“Take It Somewhere” soon welcomes some exquisite vocal harmonies, which succeed in keeping the listener engaged as the arrangement slowly builds. And by the time the hook arrives, the production is joined by a complete rhythm section, including bass and drums that have been tightly bound together, accentuated by the delicate sounds of strings and a variety of keys.

In its two and a half minute duration, “Take It Somewhere” carries you along an introspective journey through your very existence and we truly cannot think of a better soundtrack as we begin a new year. Angela Aux offers listeners a resounding, hopeful melody that will have you looking forward to the rest of his upcoming album, Spacelarking in the Age of Spiritual Machines.
