Review of "The FIne Line Between Love and Hate"
““What Doesn’t Kill You” is the fairly new project from Jason Cordingley and he is about to release his highly anticipated second single “The Fine Line Between Love And Hate” on 28th July. The multi-talented Mr Cordingley is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and from time to time he is one of our amazing reviewers. Seriously, is there anything this guy cannot do? “The Fine Line Between Love And Hate” is an epic seven and a half minute long opus that will melt your brain. This track is a multi-phased heavy rock juggernaut that will put you through the emotional wringer and bring you to the other side in a new state of enlightenment, not to mention thoroughly entertain you in the process. It is passionate, energetic and intelligently written rock and roll theatre. A barrage of amazing power riffs, intricately played solos and a beat that could jump start a truck! Jason’s vocals on this track are intense, tuneful and racked with the emotional power that comes from the song’s subject matter and the experiences it is based on. This single is a true rock experience. There is a touch of the theatrical thrown in and it really works. Do not be put off by the running time as it zips by before you know it. As far as the calibre of rock on display here on this single then that my friends is sky high. This is Grade A quality heavy rock intertwined with progressive and experimental elements which elevates this single. This is an extremely well written and superbly put together mammoth track that definitely gives you plenty of bang for your buck. What Doesn’t Kill You need to build on this track and show the rock community what they are all about. As far as future releases are concerned, then the bar has been set extremely high by this single. Jason has done an outstanding job with this track and here is to him expanding and evolving this new phase of his musical career. Anyone know of any good music reviewers out there? I think I’m going to be one light in the not so distant future. By The Accidental Music Reviewer on Facebook and Instagram” - The Accidental Music Reviewer
Review of "Higher State of Consciousness"
“This song is one that if you really do take the time to listen to it, there is something that just speaks to your consciousness, which is fitting to the song title. For the first minute or so, the song increases in volume and instrumental use, setting a darkish mood, and then Jason starts singing, eventually playing his guitar, with creative lyrics and my word the scenery is incredible. Once the song really reaches it's point of full on production, you are already invested into the song and the story it is telling, which brings an even bigger impact to what Jason is doing. This is some song, some performance, and some artist! Please follow and support him so more people can experience the journey that this song while take you on!” - Melodii Music
Review of "Higher State of Consciousness"
“M.I.R are honoured to review this 3rd single by Jason Cordingley, having been asked to review the previous 2 - we love a regular!!! Having played music from the age of 13, with experience throughout his career, Jason’s influences range from the likes of Deftones to Incubus. His newest single, Higher State of Consciousness, starts with a slow, melodic intro, which builds into the deep mellow vocals. Jason’s songs somehow make you want to intensely listen, like a story, sending you on a journey to the chorus, which is where Jason’s powerful vocals really kick in! M.I.R Rating: 4/5 ⭐️s” - Mcintosh Inc Reviews
Review of "Smother"
“"Smother" by Jason Cordingley has a great sound to it. He has this way of updating the angsty acoustic genre, the gruff rock vocals as well as smooth tones, whilst still producing unexpected chord sequences. I loved the chanted section over the open drums that then went back into the driving style guitar and Cajon sounds. This track has a rumble about it, this sound that builds in your chest; ironic given the title. It almost had the feeling you get the first time you listen to music of Native American origin, thes deep tones that almost mimic a heartbeat, that you can feel in your blood almost. BER Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5” - Mcintosh Inc Reviews
Review of "Sorry"
“Hearing the opening to "Sorry", I was expecting something like It's been a while by Staind, that kind of heavy lyrical acoustic track, and there are definitely similarities in that sense, but Jason Cordingley Music has this great tone to his voice which adds something new to the angsty acoustic genre of singers. His choice of melody line also has a more international taste to it, using what sounds more like a middle eastern influenced scale that works really well considering it is quite different to the normally expected sound. I love the use of anticipation for the missed expletive, you don't need to hear it to know how he feels, really enjoyed this track. BER Rating: 4 stars out of 5” - Mcintosh Inc Reviews
