In a time where 'busy' and 'chaotic' seem to be part of everyday life, Chris Bates provides a blissful getaway with his newest single, "Love Along The Shore." There's a warm, uplifting reggae feel from the outset of the song, like a soft breeze on a great summer day. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that Bates' wide grin with its delightful grooves and melodies, his second-nature feminine gesture adding just the right amount of silky emollient over the chiseled, controlled yet relaxed mix.
What makes "Love Along The Shore" so charming is its simplicity and authenticity. There is a joyous positivity that runs through the track; you can't listen to it without having a smile on your face. Bates has a way with lulling, soulful reggae moments that are somehow both homey and novel, the autumnal, woodsy, warm-up music for a quiet morning by the water, or a fireside night with friends.
Deeply invested in its reggae lineage, the song maintains an of-the-moment effervescence that keeps it accessible to both old and new audiences. Bates has a natural penchant for pacing, for balancing rhythm and melody, which means that the listener is carried along effortlessly rather than merely hearing it. For anyone seeking a feel-good single that exudes warm, positive energy, "Love Along The Shore" is an ideal listen. But it is so much more than just a song; it's a small moment of musical sunshine, made with love and love of the genre.
