Vocalist & Guitarist Jackson Colt shares that “The story of ‘Strangers’ revolves around the idea of the ‘Twin Flames’, two souls who are destined to be together and spend their lives searching for each other without knowing. A story of two broken people who find love. The lady is represented by a Fallen Angel who lost her way through being hurt by previous lovers. She loses her trust and happiness and starts to become darker. The gentleman in the story is represented by a Ghost who once was a believer in love but has faded now into lonely spectre through the trauma caused by his previous lovers. The two ultimately find each other in the night. The night represents the darkness that they are both lost in. Their ‘Twin Flames’ being the guiding light within themselves that leads them to each other. The music is a combination between a strong rhythmic verse and melodic pre-chorus and chorus. Producer Dale Schnettler (Prime Circle) and I wanted to create something with huge 80’s harmonies and melodic undertones to highlight the Stadium Rock element that the song is based on. The 80’s inspired Rock sound really lends itself to what Jackson Colt’s sound is.”

 

Jackson Colt ‘Strangers’ – review by Asher Locketz and is awarded a rating of 5 out of 6 stars

If you crave the heyday of 80’s hair metal, then Jackson Colt has you covered in the form of his upcoming single, the scintillating, infectious and rousing ‘Strangers’. This soaring piece of sonic wildfire is a paean to the uplifting and blissful bluster plied by legends such as Dokken, Poison and Motley Crew. With frontman Jackson Colt on vocals and guitar, alongside Dean Gerber on Bass & Backing Vocals, Matthew Safi on Drums, and Piet Snyman on Guitar & Backing Vocals, this quartet conjure forth stadium sized Rock that bristles with blissful choruses and viciously disarming verses. Beginning with the refrain “Strangers, let’s go!” one is strapped into a rollicking rollercoaster of a track built upon a bedrock of mammoth, melodic riffs, pounding drums, soaring vocals, and sparkling song craft that hurtles forth at a ferociously catchy pace.

With verses that pop and fizzle with thudding bass and a chorus that explodes into a supernova of sparkling incandescence ‘’Strangers’’ brings to mind the lights, luminosity and neon lit streets of Los Angeles at night where patrons stagger about in the grip of hedonism. The lyrical subject matter centres upon finding one’s soulmate in the existential sprawl that is life and are woven into the tapestry of this track with aplomb. As Jackson Colt opines “A fallen angel, wings ripped and torn. She’s running from the love that she can’t take it anymore, no” in the first verse it is clear this song wears it’s 80’s rock influences on its proverbial sleeve. Housed in a robust and crystalline production courtesy of Dale Schnettler (from South African Rock Powerhouse Prime Circle fame), this arena sized slab of sizzling Rock is primed to set the airwaves ablaze with vigour.
