[Danielle Donville, Ballad Creative]

Band: RADIO FREE UNVERSE
Who: A Canadian rock squad embodying a
genre-inclusive approach. and emitting an
inimitable and irresistible frequency tuned in
to rock, alternative, funk, and pop all at once.

Single: CIRCLE – fourth single from the group’s
excellent and critically acclaimed 2020 album LOVE.

George Panagopoulos (vocalist/guitarist) about the song: “For me this song
was written about my life with my family. Something I’ve been incredibly grateful
to have through this long and seemingly endless place this pandemic has left many
of us in. We are closer now than ever before… In particular ‘Circle’ pays homage to my
wedding which took place in a circle of flowers on a beach in Cuba, and represents a strengthened commitment to my marriage and family.”

Circle is an amplified and vigorous, love-injected ballad. You can feel the singer’s
exultation of reinforcing the bonds with his partner and his family again, during this
once-in-a-lifetime global health crisis which locked us all down for about 15 months
now. His energetic and impassioned voice makes me think of the heartfelt vox of the
late great Chris Cornell and the arresting vocal sonority of Kelly Jones of Welsh (UK)
rockers Stereophonics. The overall effect on my ears, heart and soul causes
sentiments of a retrieved joie de vivre. Touchdown!

And the video clip is pretty wonderful too, as it features the children of
the band and visual director Max McNeil Smith. The cute and cool kids
will move your heart, and stir your soul, no doubt about that.

And action…

Now you’re here, stream/buy
