It’s obvious from the get-go that he’s a talented musician and performer. Overflowing with bravado, his singing has a magnificent range to it.

Not to be simply bundled into the alternative rock category, Rossi’s catchy songwriting alone proves he’s in a league of his own.

He’s able to translate the most incredible feelings into words and phrases, and weave them together to create a relatable, touching story.

It’s a gift to be able to compose meaningful lyrics as eloquently as Rossi does, and then be able to sing them with equal fervor and technical skill. Not only is that gift in every moment of “Let you Go”, but Rossi has expanded upon it, making the song as catchy as hell.

The lyrics serve as the heart and soul of the song, but it’s the intricate and lively melody that really makes the song stand out. The tune carries a certain weight and charm to it that makes you fall in love instantly. You’ll find yourself singing and jamming along to every word of this song.

The actual instrumental gives the song a lot of depth, and Rossi uses elements and effects that highlight the melody while at the same time keeping the rhythm front and center. In the end, “Let you Go” is a product of not only a life time of experiences, but a lifetime of doing what Pat Rossi loves. There is a passion in everything that he does, and it’s never shown quite as much as it does in this solo effort.
