Midwest Dilemma with ‘Searching for the Cure for Loneliness’
I’m pretty sure Midwest Dilemma has not found the exact cure for loneliness, BUT I can definitively say that Midwest Dilemma has delivered original music in its purest form. Fronted by singer/songwriter Justin Lamoureux, ‘Searching for the Cure for Loneliness’ is one for the ages. With a unique style intact and a one-of-a-kind sound, Midwest Dilemma is making a lot of productive noise with the new release.
‘Searching for the Cure for Loneliness’ embodies originality at its finest with 11 genre-bending songs on the album. With elements of folk, country, pop, Americana and everything else under the sun, Midwest Dilemma delivers an incredible performance on the new record. There are themes of life’s battles along with fun-filled adventure allowing your mind to race and your ears to dance. Equipped with over 20 talented musicians on this album, ‘Searching for the Cure for Loneliness’ will not disappoint.
An interesting “Intro” kicks things off where one will hear an intriguing melody that captures your attention right away. Next, on “Old Screen”, the vocals & instrumentation grabs you immediately with a draggy melody that is the perfect pace. The title track is up next and “Searching for the Cure for Loneliness” provides an old-fashioned feel that collides with a fresh, up-to-date vibe. “Searching for the Cure for Loneliness” is an extremely catchy number with lyrics & vocals that stand tall and speak volumes. Track four, “The 49’r”, supplies thought-provoking words and an overall style that moves you and captivates you. If you’re searching for words that stand out in a crowd, then look no further than “Dreaming of the Coast”. The listener will be transported to a world where warm, cool and refreshing waters surround your ears and soul on “Dreaming of the Coast”.
