Being
a huge country music fan, and at the same time, largely acquainted to strong
electric guitar riffs, Rascal Flatts’ ‘Rewind’, a track weaved in modern sonic
trends with a twist of summer love clichés, has effortlessly secured a safe
spot on my Valentine current playlist. While RF’s solid streamline of
tracks basically sounds alike, they’ve managed to stay fit as far as the
ever-changing landscape of music industry is concerned. Needless to say, I have
had a fair share of those heavy ‘What Hurts The Most’ moments during those
pretty glorious days and radio invasion. And while RF quite retains their
trademark harmonies and unearthy country feels as encapsulated in ‘Rewind’,
their current sound is weirdly non-reminiscent of their previous tracks. It
must be the loose, uptempo, power ballad in it which leads to a distinctly
different ground. The song and its official video (which was released roughly
10 hours ago) were obviously about rewind―and whatnots. The vid, however, was a bit mediocre, visually unpleasant, and
disturbing at times; 0:57-1:01 which cues for a Sarah Geronimo’s ‘Ikot-Ikot’
feel. Generally, there’s nothing special about the whole vid, except if you’re
a large Rascal Flatts follower.
