Villa*Nova
The Thread of Life
Columbia, SC
(Self-released)
Drawing listeners in with soulful bass lines and infectious vocals, Villa*Nova provides a unique take on pop rock with their new album, The Thread of Life. Catchy melodies leave jams like “Can’t Let You Go” and “Blackhole” stuck in your head for hours, while ballads like “Sacred” are reminiscent of bands like The Script. The standout track is definitely the title track, closing the album with an utterly electrifying guitar solo and haunting melodies. However, the album as a whole is generally simple, and unfortunately, a bit on the redundant side. But that’s a minor quibble: The Thread of Life is sure to get you on your feet.
