Maclean will get people talking.
When piecing together a song, an artist often places more emphasis on one of either two things: music or lyrics. However, Maclean’s latest release Talker successfully employs a balance between the two elements. While their Coldplay-like sound has gradually matured since their 2007 freshman album, Hang this on Your Wall, their lyrical storytelling has also come a long way. The endpoint is an album with a contemplative mellow sound sparking thought and lyrics that will surely ignite conversation.
