For the uninitiated, The Fods are a transatlantic writing and recording duo that adds some of the best vocalists in the business to their distinctive indie punk rock sound. They consist of a revolving ensemble of collaborators that ranges from new friends made in the internet’s Wild West to enduring writing partnerships from the 1990s. The result is a varied collection of songs that are always guitar-forward, genre-spanning, and upbeat. Because writers, performers, collaborators, and technologists come from all over the world, every song has a unique feel to it.
Here is the press release for this one:
The Fods (still traversing NJ USA & Cheshire UK) recently released the Punk Rock song “I Get Blamed” and guest vocalist Georgina White, (St. Albans, UK – actress, vocal coach and multi-instrumentalist) who recently released a cover of Iron Maiden’s “Hallowed be thy Name”. So what collaboration would come from this ……?
“…..Is Very Much Enough” is a bluesy ballad and Georgina’s vocal is an incredibly powerful rendition which combines beautifully with the intense guitar and poignant lyrics.
My Review:
This is very good! It opens with an extended bluesy instrumental before the vocals of Georgina White pick up the emotion and deliver a plaintive vocal as she notes the lack of intimacy even when there is love all around. It is a powerful vocal, and the synthesis between vocal and instrumental is very effective. Later in the track it shifts to a backing harmony with “ohh oooh” – sophisticated music for your listening pleasure. I would say ‘Wake up Smooth Radio” and Radio 2, this is one for you.
In summary, there’s something timeless about the way The Fods frame emotion — no flash, no frills, just honest craft and feeling. With Georgina White’s hauntingly beautiful performance leading the way, this collaboration reminds us music still matters: it connects, it resonates, and it lingers long after the final note fades.
