Nick Anastasakis, the creative force behind The Afro Nick, delivers a striking new single in ’Get There Before Noon’. Known for his unique blend of indie rock and soul influences. Nick’s early days with Stray Blue, an indie rock band that notably toured Crete; no small feat at the time, set the stage for Nick’s transition into a self-produced solo artist.
On ‘Get There Before Noon’, Nick is joined by two talented collaborators: bass player George Athanas, also previously in the band Stray Blue, and Grammy-winning synth player Leo Genovese. George’s bass lines providing a sturdy backbone while Leo’s atmospheric synths build out a lush soundscape for the track.
The lyrics in ‘Get There Before Noon’ serve as both a warning and a reminder for listeners. Lines like “And on one day, you gonna miss that day” and “I got to live this life, not yesterday” capture the urgency of needing to live in the moment, and to not wait until it’s too late. Nick sums up this sentiment in the song’s final line: “And all you have to do, is get there before noon.” It’s simple but powerful, as well as a reminder that life waits for no one and that we must take action before time slips away.
Musically, the track blends thick, distorted guitar riffs with shimmering electronic melodies, the songs intro is fun and infectious to listen to and the track itself creates a sound that’s both nostalgic and modern.
Ultimately, ’Get There Before Noon’ as a song seems to have encapsulated everything that The Afro Nick stands for: freedom, defiance of societal norms, and an appreciation for the beauty of life and seizing the day. It’s a song that invites listeners to reflect, to seize the day, and to do so on their own terms. Nick Anastasakis has crafted an anthem for anyone who’s ever been caught between the rush of life and the desire to truly live it.
