Simon Andersson is a very talented, award-winning singer/songwriter and producer from Malmö in Sweden and Try is his latest single, released on 07/07/2023.

With a very positive message, the song portrays a sense of hope and motivation, and even if things seem insurmountable, all we have to do is…. try! And I think this is a message that a lot of people need to hear at times when they feel disheartened and challenged by life.

The track starts off quite calmly, but is one that grows in intensity, power, and emotion, really getting the message of the track across.

With a rock pop foundation, this is a track that could be categorised under any number of genres, blurring the lines between them, creating its own style. Simon has managed to combine the energy of rock music with the melody of pop rock, and it is a combination that really works. With verses that are quite mellow, the choruses are a lot rockier, and this is where the music side of the track really comes into its own.

Vocally, this track is awesome. Simon’s voice has a strength and power that I think could sing any rock song like the best of them, the grittiness and energy in his voice really standing him apart, but there is also a gentleness there that really shows his range and diversity.

This is a really great track and one that, I think, will appeal to both rock and pop fans alike.
