Alwyn Morrison “Chained”
I don’t have too much info on New York native Alwyn Morrison, but he’s got three songs to his credit so far. His latest is “Chained” written by Alwyn and co-writer Michael Ales, and its an emotional ballad that caught my ear. It’s a complex story about wanting to leave a stale relationship, but fearing the unknown. He feels trapped like a prisoner, or metaphorically “chained to a dark room every night and day.”
The song is an introspective plea for assistance, and Alwyn is able to convey it with his controlled vocal delivery and strong guitar strumming. The chorus is straightforward and appealing, and the middle eight provides us a beautiful key change as well as some “ooh, ooh” backing vocals. Overall this is some solid pop balladry, and the production here sounds very professional as well. Check out Alwyn’s other songs “The City” and “Lenox Hill” for more melodic adult pop. I look forward to a full album at some point. Learn More and visit his Linktree
