The band of brothers from Florida certainly haven’t been making waves in the music industry in the past few years, considering they haven’t released an album as of late. But with their new album, Road Less Traveled pending release, everything is beginning to pick up for the trio.
Be Somebody is the first single off the trio’s new album, and it holds a lot of promise of what is to come on Road Less Traveled. The song itself is quite the tune. With the mix of relatable lyrics, a foot tapping beat, and soft instrumentals in between the choruses, it certainly creates the perfect storm, and sets up listeners for what is to come from these brothers. Despite being released over 6 months ago, Be Somebody is the perfect summer song. Everyone has a dream, and Boyce Avenue appeals to it. Whether you love someone unconditionally, or have something that your heart is extremely passionate about, this song reminds the readers to follow your heart regardless of what it is. The listeners are encouraged to follow their heart, no matter where it may lead them to.
While some may relate this new single to their previous work, this song definitely warrants success. It does resemble the bands’ older work, but in order for a band to stay popular with their fans, they shouldn’t alter their work too much. Be Somebody offers the perfect hint of nostalgia, but over time, the vocals have aged, the instrumentals come off crisper, and the stories held in this new track will have you running back for more. Some listeners may have forgotten about Boyce Avenue over the years, but with Be Somebody and Road Less Traveled, these boys prove to the world that they refuse to be forgotten.
