Pio Hartnett - When I Go There
About...
Pio Hartnett is an alternative singer-songwriter currently based in Dublin, in 2021 he teamed up with producer Zak Higgins gaining writing credits from Mexico to British Columbia, and Japan. ‘When I Go There’ is a transformative piece that evolves from a piano ballad climaxing to an outburst of sound by the end
Lyrics...
The track tells a self-reflective story of leaving and losing your person every time you go out to pursue a life, wavering the balance between love and optimism of what happens when you push the boundaries of what’s possible. It also tells me that he is very much still in love with this person and needs reminding every time he comes back
Production...
The production is thoughtful and evoking, using the arrangement to create feeling and emotion. The tracks constantly build through percussive elements and driving guitars. Pio utilises auto tune in sections to create dynamic change, reminding me of productions done by Finneas
Summary...
This is a great track within an excellent album from Pio, showcasing his sonic vision and ability to create a complete body of work. Having gained recognition for some time now and been tipped to be a newcomer into the industry I’m excited to see what 2024 holds for Pio
