Song Review/ Instrumental : Stephen Webber’s ‘New York (New York)’
Stephen Webber is a singer-songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist. His latest release, ‘New York (New York)’ is a catchy, upbeat, narrative anthem that captures the contrast of classic, old time New York and how it has evolved through the years. With a comically tumbling rhythm underpinning his goofy, performative, and fond vocals, the song runs quickly, as if on a run, with an engaging urgency that keeps you awake and running with it.
As the vocals skip over the many institutions and cultural landmarks of the city, we catch on bits of nostalgia, joy, pride, and almost a feeling of friendship. It is fun, engaging, and just the track you need to get a peppy start to your day. Especially if you’re a New Yorker. Listen Now!
