Gary Burk "You Got Me" Review

This sweet tale of love was published in conjunction with a significant lyric video that has already reached more than a thousand views in less than two days'.

It is no wonder the song is having such attention: in its simplicity, it touches the heart of everyone who has fallen in love at least once in their lifetime.

Anticipating his forthcoming EP "Show Em What You Got," country singer and guitarist Gary Burk III has lent his strong, yet sweet vocals to this gentle and involving song written by Mason Douglas.

Gary Burk III is not new to success: his previous single Friday Night hit more than 50,000 streams on Spotify and reached Top20 on iTunes, confirming he's one of the most interesting upcoming acts in the country-pop realm.

You Got Me starts with a very modern beat and a soft piano part to accompany Gary's outstanding singing. The chorus opens up to a more layered arrangement, able to deliver strong emotions. A distorted electric guitar is mixed with less classic electronic elements. It is a nice balance, as the production seems to aim at reaching a point of contact between classic country-pop love songs and contemporary grooves.

The lyrics are straightforward and perfectly fit the theme. Their simplicity is what makes them so relatable and involving.

The structure of the song is quite standard, but it is a formula proven for success, so why changing?
Gary Burk III's voice is the real ace in the hole, as it delivers different emotional nuances and can enrich the storytelling immediately and effectively.

With this premise, "Show Em What You Got" will surely be a success.
