Review

There is an immediate warmth to “Four Leaf Clover”. Folk-IndieBob creating the kind of easygoing folk track that feels pleasantly familiar from its opening moments. The remix has a wonderfully lived in quality, allowing the instrumentation to unfold naturally around a vocal performance full of character.

Gentle guitar lines give the song its rustic charm, while the steady rhythm underneath keeps everything moving at an unhurried pace. There are touches of folk, country and Americana with each element having enough room to breathe. It creates an intimate atmosphere that suits the song particularly well.

Its simplicity is a large part of the appeal. The melody settles comfortably into its groove and stays there, making this more of a slow burning listen than something designed around a dramatic crescendo. Warm, melodic and refreshingly understated, “Four Leaf Clover” is an inviting listen with plenty of personality.
