Ahead of Ideas is the new single by City Reign. It feels like it fits well into a light rock genre.

The track has nice vocals which sit very well on top of the backing instrumentals. At points, the vocals use an interesting overlapping effect which does add a nice bit of interest to the overall track. The melody of the instrumentals isn’t overpowering, it helps to support the vocals while providing its own musical direction. The drums again don’t overpower the music, which is a very nice asset to have; they have interest while keeping the beat.

Overall, this single is very listenable in many situations. It would suit general relaxing or even when you are out and about. A very well put together track.
