Christine is an action-packed, fast-paced song with a catchy tune and melody. This track features bluesy anthems and bass lines combined with modern elements. Written and performed by Michael Kazalski on Candy Island, this song showcases his prowess in the bass guitar and unique storytelling vocals methods. The artist based in Portsmouth, Virginia takes influences from various sources and takes these inspirations to reflect on his music. Like his other music, Christine is sung in a storytelling fashion that can also be enjoyed while dancing.
The track begins with a loud bang and a repeated electronic guitar riff with chorus effects, giving it a deep sound. This slowly builds the tension, as the vocals enter the scene alongside other instruments such as the drums, bass, and pipe organ. After building up, the melody transitions into a blues rhythm reminiscent of the old rock and roll style popularized by classic names such as Elvis and The Beatles. This soundscape is amplified by modern, cleaner elements that create a new unique take on producing songs. These small contemporary elements can be heard from minor details such as faint keys and synths in the background. Following the second hook, the track enters an instrumental section with a smooth groovy bass line leading the front accompanied by mellow guitars and keys. The pace eventually becomes faster, before exploding into an amazing distorted bass guitar solo. The tune concludes with a satisfying final hook.
