Friday Project unleashes soaring artistry and glowing energy throughout Nine Lives.
When we came across Friday Project and their standout album Nine Lives, it was an absolute hell yes for us. The band's attitude, the pulse, and the whole delivery set the tone instantly, showing just how confidently Friday Project commands their craft. One thing is clear right away: Friday Project knows exactly how to make listeners feel part of something bigger.
“Capitola Coast” shows a relaxed and chill vibe that instantly captivates. The warm, resonant guitar with its glowing sensation immediately pulls you in, and following that sensation is a vocal performance that stands tall with emotional clarity and connection. The choice to open the album with this track, especially with that big, boisterous all-voices harmony and explosive delivery, was a terrific move. It creates an immediate bond between the band and the audience, the kind that lasts far beyond a first listen. The musical performance is top notch throughout. The guitars are unforgettable, especially with that huge solo, and the drums carry the song with tension and lift in all the right places. This is a terrific standout you absolutely need to catch. “The moment the harmony hits, you feel the album open its arms to you.”
“Something Anything” has an infectious vibe and rhythm we still can’t get out of our head. The relentless fast moving energy is magnetic, and what also stands out is how naturally the band taps into a feeling that makes you want to move. This song feels destined to become a live performance favorite that crowds will devour. The drum fills are sharp and confident, the dramatic guitars cut through beautifully, and the powerful vocal performance ties everything together with real force. The cascading guitar notes will anchor themselves in your memory. “Every second of the song feels like a spark catching fire.”
We rounded it all up with “You’re All I Need,” and this slow but bold guitar chord progression gives the lyrics a foundation that feels like an emotional reckoning. The delivery of the vocals is powerful, commanding, and truly unique, and following that vocal presence is a sense that every element is placed with purpose. It is a definite fact that this band’s talents wrap together effortlessly, and their seemingly boundless creativity keeps every moment engaging. The pounding drums' arrival gives the song another layer of impact and helps make it yet another standout on this amazing album.
The production brings what feels like a real and genuine performance. It feels as if it was done in one take, with all the attention from the engineers focused on maintaining and preserving the texture and feel of the recording, and capturing this amazing performance. They did exactly that and did it beautifully. Each sound feels close and alive, as if you are right there in the room with them. “The production celebrates authenticity in a way that elevates every moment.”
The talent on display here sets Friday Project up for a serious climb, and now is the perfect time to get familiar with everything Friday Project is creating.
Overall, we walked away seriously impressed with Friday Project and Nine Lives. The performance hits hard, the creativity shines, and the risks taken push everything into a space that feels exciting and fresh. Friday Project earned every bit of praise here, and we highly recommend diving into Nine Lives right now. “This is the kind of album that marks a turning point for any artist bold enough to create it.”
