“A masterclass in evolution — Bonamassa doesn’t just play the blues; he reinvents it.”
Jace Media Music
Review By Glen Parkes
Joe Bonamassa has never been one to stand still, but with his new single “Breakthrough,” he doesn’t just move forward—he catapults into a whole new era. Crafted across multiple continents and steeped in a world’s worth of influence, this track isn’t just another notch on his legendary belt—it’s the start of a thrilling new chapter in his sonic story.
Following hot on the heels of recent successes “Still Walking With Me” and “Shake This Ground,” “Breakthrough” feels like Bonamassa tearing down old walls and building something bigger, bolder, and braver. The track kicks off with a groove-driven arrangement that instantly grabs hold of you, locking you into a hypnotic rhythm before unleashing one of Bonamassa’s fiercest solos to date—searing, soaring, and dripping with soul.
“Breakthrough” isn’t just about guitar fireworks, though—it’s rich with emotionally charged storytelling. Bonamassa’s voice, weathered yet commanding, carries the weight of every mile traveled and every lesson learned. “This is Bonamassa at his most human, most heartfelt,” as Rolling Stone might put it.
There’s an almost cinematic feel to the production, as if the song is the soundtrack to a life on the brink of something extraordinary. Every note feels deliberate, every lyric feels lived-in. The sonic layers—lush yet raw—show a fearless embrace of stylistic exploration that fans new and old will find both surprising and addictive.
Simply put, “Breakthrough” isn’t just a new single. It’s a statement. It’s proof that even after decades at the top, Joe Bonamassa is still chasing horizons—and lucky for us, he’s bringing us along for the ride.
“Breakthrough” is a battle cry, a love letter, and a reinvention rolled into one powerhouse anthem.
