![]() It’s a slower tempo than any of the songs we’ve heard so far, yet still sounds a lot like the last two. “Bourbon” reminds me a lot of some of Gallant’s old songs (some of which are later on Ology). This is particularly evident in the lyric “What good is a sword next to a shotgun?” since Gallant already sang about “sharpening his blade.” The song is layered with Gallant’s amazing falsetto as we near the end. The third song, “Shotgun,” is about trying as hard as possible to be amazing, but coming up short because there is always something/someone better. It certainly isn’t my favorite song from the album, but I would still listen to it. Mixing them with the electronic elements in the chorus makes for a really interesting sound that I haven’t heard often. I really like the music itself in this song, especially the brass instruments that are played at different parts throughout the song. “Talking to Myself,” doesn’t have a clear storyline based on the lyrics, but is still clearly about some sort of internal struggle. This drew me into the album because I wasn’t sure what would come next on the following track. ![]() The song ends just as things seem to be getting to a crescendo. The song starts out with static, turns into one simple beat and slowly turns into organized chaos with harmonics from an orchestra. The sixteen-song-long album starts with a song appropriately titled “First.” It’s only thirty-seven seconds long, but Gallant certainly uses every single second wisely. His album, Ology, features previously released songs as well as new material, making it easy to see these progressions throughout his career. He performed at Coachella this year and has performed with Sufjan Stevens and Seal. ![]() Gallant was influenced by R&B and alt-rock as he was growing up and began writing music when he was in middle school. Christopher Gallant, known as Gallant, released his first album on April 6th, 2016 after releasing an EP and several singles in the past few years.
