Track analysis:

7 – Be Ambitious!!

The energy in the intro alone is a great indicator that we’re in for an exciting rock tune about adventures and challenges. It is youthful, fun, and exudes a feel-good vibe that is impossible to shake off even after wrapping up listening to it.

The overdriven guitar riffs and the powerful snary drums pick up the pace in the verses, taking the excitement into the explosive chorus. The instrumental flows incredibly well, with this sort of taking on their powerpop sound being rather refreshing.

There are hints of punk-rock in the guitar and drums work, particularly noticeable in the verses. In the chorus, their powerpop shines as the song opens its dynamics and develops into an upbeat rock track with insanely catchy pop lyrics.

On the vocal end, Yuma Uchida delivers a rather unique performance, straying a bit away from his usual singing tone to deliver a rather fresh performance.

All in all, Be Ambitious!! is certainly the type of track to add to your travel/drive playlist.  Rock-solid track by Impish Crow.

SUMMARY

Powerpop has been the greeting card for Impish Crow. Catchy lyrics, fast paced instrumentals and powerful vocals are their forte. However, for Be Ambitious!!, the band went the extra mile, delivering something memorable with a unique vocal performance by Yuma Uchida on top of it.
