Cory Wells – The Way We Are
The danger surrounding being an acoustic singer-songwriter is simply falling into the similarity trap…

The album portrays, in the words of Wells, “sadness, anger, despair, happiness, uncertainty, regret, and so much more”. It’s a reflection on what it means to be human, Soaring emotions and burning passion pack out every word: The anger of ‘Wildfire’, the soft sadness of ‘Fall Apart’ (a standout track for me due to the feature of Lizzy Farrall, who’s mellow vocals add a whole other level to the song), and the falsetto and full band flare closing the album with ‘Cement’; all of this emotion paired with the sporadic yet certain nature of this Acoustic-Emo-Rock songwriting paints the perfect picture of being alive, being human, and – as the album is so aptly named – The Way That We Are.
The Way That We Are is out now via Pure Noise Records.
