Danny Addison shows with “Pheromone” that desire acts as both shelter and danger for a lover. The song draws listeners in gradually as it blends powerful emotions with an intense pace, leaving them torn between being open and needing the situation to go on. Addison starts by softly singing on top of the gliding acoustic guitar, making it easy to sense the joy of giving in to love without thinking.
At the beginning of the track, a gentle guitar plays softly, then Addison’s voice joins in, sounding confessional—smooth, honest, and touching. His delivery seems very honest, as if his every word could break if he said it with force. Yet, quietly, this fragility gives carvings a sense of power. As his singing goes from tender to low and gritty, the song shows that quenching your curiosity about love makes more sense than ignoring it.
Addison’s lyrics sound like journal notes, showing how he struggles with wanting to take risks and avoiding them. The player’s nimble fingers guide the guitar along with the feelings in the track. Extra elements in the sound composition add a soft, gentle touch to the main melody.
The song’s atmosphere has a vivid movie-like feeling to it. A sense of being boxed in comes, along with shortness of breath, when attraction turns into a passion that can’t be stopped. Addison makes us feel like we’re going through the ordeal instead of just describing it.
Danny Addison’s growth as an artist is clearly noticeable in “Pheromone.” It’s filled with bravery, helps people to feel alive, and deals with emotional topics honestly. There are moments of wanting and of days gone, as well as longing for connections on this single song. Addison demonstrates here that aside from creating music, he can tell stories using sound very well.
