Alec Berlin’s new single Man’s Best Friend is an epic composition that transitions through a range of energies – just like dogs. The single comes with an amazing video full of dog footage shaped to match the energy of the song.
Man’s Best Friend was written in the middle of the night, instead of being asleep. The music of each section seemed to point Berlin towards the next section, so he just paid attention and followed along. Berlin says he wanted to challenge himself to fill the void left by the absence of singing. He wanted to adapt the composition, the arrangement, the guitar playing and the production, so that the music was just as compelling as if there were a singer.
The song explores the evolution of rock music. Berlin’s style draws influences from jazz which he studied during his Masters Degree in Jazz Performance at Boston’s New England Conservatory. Berlin also draws elements from pop and rock, combining his love of concise pop-rock songwriting with his expertise as a guitarist.
The song explores the various energies present in rock music, ranging from the energy of an enthusiastic live audience to the energy of a single, private moment. The subtleties of the genre are invited to be explored and appreciated through Berlin’s music. Man’s Best Friend serves as a reminder of the ability of music to unite people with one another and with the outside world.
Berlin has produced a fresh, attractive, and inventive musical landscape by fusing jazz, pop, and rock music. Man’s Best Friend’s music video acts as a visual reminder of the ability of music to bring people together and in happiness. It is evidence of Alec Berlin’s talent as a musician and songwriter and undoubtedly serves as an inspiration for many other musicians to embrace genre-bending and originality.
