Mason – All I Ever Wanted – Single Review – bjfmedia

Review By Darren McIntyre

Mason are a melodic AOR band from Ontario, Canada who deliver a fresh yet familiar take on classic hard rock, mmelding soaring hooks , rich melodies with an anthemic arrangement. The boys gave us their debut album I Can;t Wait back in 2024 and today the boys return with their toe tapping melodic rocker track All I Ever Wanted from their soon to be released new album Seconds To Impact slated for release 1st September, to wet our appetites I bring you the classic new single which I will be reviewing for you today.

All I Ever Wanted – The track begins with a real soft intro with cool keys that are joined by a punchy drum beat that allows the track to breathe as the boys lean in and let the groove flow. The slick, clean guitar licks are wandering freely through the track as this toe tapping number builds and builds with ease as the soulful, mellow vocals let the tone flow, the full on bassline is handing us a real nice, grooving beat that just wraps itself around this 80’s style track that just takes us back to big hair and loud shirts that were the signature of the 80’s. The tone is silky smooth and the groove is a solid beat that just makes this track an easy listen as the boys pick up where they left off with their last album, this is a real thought provoking track that brings us mellow lyrics that are wrapped in a cool, slick guitar riff that will have you reaching for the repeat button as this track will have you humming the chorus for days to come.
