Chip Greene‘s métier is matters of the heart. That alone doesn’t make him an original, but his meticulous examination of all the intricacies of a relationship is a great deal more detail-oriented than average. Hailing from Nashville, TN, Greene pens wistful tales of love and loss. His classic approach to melody is updated with layers of electronic textures, yielding atmospheric pop gems. Everything About You is as catchy as it is sentimental, with bright bursts of guitars and keyboards providing the emotional thrust. Precious Time charts the trajectory of a relationship through sparkling digital waves and jangling guitars. I know the past has left you a little unsatisfied, Greene sings. It’s clearly left him unsatisfied as well. But be grateful that Greene’s been through the emotional ringer”the upside to being downhearted is that it often yields some pretty poignant material.
