insomnia by payton (EP review)

Payton Moormeier is about to explode all over the music scene in nothing short of an epic way.  With phenomenal social media numbers (including 15 million viewers of TikTok and 4.8 million Instagram followers), many have already discovered payton through his previous output of singles.  insomnia is payton’s debut EP, and it’s fully loaded with smooth grooves to keep the listener thoroughly captivated.  Collaborating solely with producer Donny Bravo, the luminously understanded songs found within the realm of insomnia leave a decided impact.  Six selections of pure sonic bliss abound, and it’s a recording destined to take payton above and beyond the teen TikTok audience and into the stratosphere.

Opening track way out instantly hooks the listener into the vibrant heart and soul of payton’s music, followed by the brilliant reverberations of blame.  all wrong is supremely catchy and should be all over the worldwide radio airwaves.  you don’t care is universally relatable with its lyrical discovery of a relationship gone wrong meshing with a deceptively playful melody.  move along continues the theme of a love gone away and accepting that it’s time to be free to find happiness again.  The title track insomnia closes out the album with just acoustic guitar and soulful vocals showing both payton and producer Donny Bravo at the very height of their creative energies.

insomnia by payton is jam-packed with songs to chill out with on those late summer nights and is a sweet auditory addiction well worth seeking out! And if you want to hear these amazing tunes live, payton will be doing the insomnia EP release show live at The Echo in Los Angeles on August 2^nd!
