Kyle Shedrick wants us all to be ready to defend our dreams and aspirations on his new track, War.  While the song is obviously about standing strong in the face of adversity, given the recent revitalization of the movement for social justice, there’s a second meaning that could be gleaned here.  The throbbing beat with its march-like choral stings and hip-hop sound lends to the atmosphere well and helps add a little gravitas to Shedrick softer tenor tone.  The beat switch at the end of the song take away from the theme a little but doesn’t make the song less enjoyable overall.

This the first single from the singer’s upcoming EP, Higher Plane, and will hit iTunes March 13.
