quinton brock channels the loneliness of lockdown into the captivatingly honest “touch”
“If you think I’m nervous
It’s because it’s probably true”
There’s an uneasiness and a restlessness that underpins “Touch.” The jangly guitars and impatient drumming threaten the smooth sincerity of the vocals, perfectly creating a sense of being a little more honest than you intended. It’s a longing for connection fighting against the fear of rejection that like Quinton Brock’s last single, the propulsive “To The Moon,” turns contradiction into art. The new cut came out of a moment of loneliness at the height of lockdown when isolation and uncertainty were the name of the game. Brock channels that into a single that’s equal parts R&B, post-punk, and indie rock and just captivatingly honest. In the past Quinton Brock has expressed a mission statement to “change rock music forever,” and based on his first few singles, he might actually do it.
