Maverick Sabre // Open My Eyes

Originally known as ‘Follow’ for those who were lucky to enough to have a copy of Maverick Sabre’s album sampler, it’s fair to say a few fans were gutted when they didn’t see this song on the tracklisting for ‘Lonely Are The Brave’. Luckily it was figured out that the song’s name was changed to ‘Open My Eyes’, and we’d get to hear what all the fuss was about after all.

It would have been a crime had this track not made the album. It had a lot to live to, following ‘I Need’ and ‘Let Me Go’ as track number three on the LP. They’re too big songs to follow, but ‘Open My Eyes’ definitely doesn’t seem like a cut below the singles, and would be a more than suitable follow up to ‘No-One’.

With a looped piano riff and a heavy drum lead beat, ‘Open My Eyes’ introduces us to a slightly harder, moodier side of Maverick. That’s not to say this song lacks soul; his rich vocals are just mixed in with some rap verses and lyrics which despair our materialistic society. The rap/sung technique contrasts extremely well, showing us that Maverick is a pretty darn versatile artist, and a top quality one at that.
