BEDON, “Untitled”

Break-up songs don’t have a set template, but they’re rarely as tender as Bedon’s “Untitled” manages to be. Atop consistent hi-hat taps and loose blues guitar stomp, Bedon’s plaintive refrain that “I won’t deny it, I’ll cherish the times we’ve shared/We’re very different people in the end” feels reflective without a hint of self-pity or regret. The Motown-inspired orchestration certainly helps keep “Untitled” from tipping over into sentimentality, as with the song’s electrifying bridge that lets the crooned line “I’m tired of talking/Won’t you speak for me?” make way for a stirring horn solo. Bedon balances detachment and determination into a blue-eyed soul rocker with thrilling results.
