Maria – Goin’ My Way [2nd Single]
Maria’s 2nd single, entitled Goin’ My Way, was released on 07.15.09.
Goin’ My Way is a sweet pop song with rock tints to fit her style. The song starts off with a very pretty and raw instrumental that will definitely catch the listener’s ear and then Maria’s vocals come in, sounding slightly off. Here and there, the control kind of slips through but overall her vocals sound nice alongside the music. The chorus features a slightly different instrumental that makes it stand out although the vocals sound slightly strange at times. Overall, the music is very enjoyable and Maria sounded stronger vocally this time around. Hopefully she’ll keep working on it and be even stronger next time around.
終われない夏 is a more calming song supported by the sounds of the guitar. It’s not a particularly memorable song but it compliments the A-side quite nicely in terms of sound.
In order to promote the single, a PV for Goin’ My Way was made. The video is extremely simple, just featuring Maria playing guitar outside. The background setting is very nice although it’s a little boringafter a while.
Single Ranking: B
