Orianthi = Some Kind Of Feeling – Single Review – noblepr

Review By Darren Mac

Orianthi Penny Panagaris is a singer / guitarist / songwriter from Adelaide, Australia who is an accomplished musician who has played, performed & jammed with the world’s best musicians and is a talented solo artist in her own right. Orianthi began her musical journey aged 3 when she started playing piano but with the encouragement of her father she moved to acoustic guitar aged 6. Aged 11 she moved onto electric guitar and started playing in bands which has led her to play with greats such as Steve Vai, Carrie Underwiood,Carlos Santana, Alice Cooper, Dave Stewart & Richie Sambora. Orianthi has been busy in the studio and is set to bring us a new album in 2025 and to wet our appetites for that impending release Orianthi brings us her infectious, blues riddled single Some Kind Of Feeling which I will be reviewing for you today.

Some Kind Of Feeling – The track kicks off with a real funky blues style bassline that is joined by sweet,clean guitar picks that just allow the track to open and come at us. Orianthi lets her melodic, soulful vocals wrap themselves around this real toe tapping blues eruption that really grabs your attention as the track unfolds, we get a real punchy, solid snare drum kick that is joined by sweet cymbal snaps that let the rhythm section control the groove as this real feel good track builds and builds.

There are nice mellow keys littered throughout the arrangement that just take the track to the next level as we really get to grips with this incredible artist as she cuts loose as she drops an epic guitar solo that just lets this track tell it’s own story as we flow along with this mesmerising musician as she delivers a cool, groove laden track that captures the essence of her playing style as the lyrics just grab you and take you to somewhere new. The band are tight, melodic and really give us a sense that they are telling their own story as the track takes us on a journey that lets Orianthi deliver a well thought out track that will have you reaching for the repeat button for sure.
