The Summer That Never Ended — Starbound | Velvet Summer | West Coast AOR Nostalgia

☀️ VELVET SUMMER ☀️ Some summers never end. "Velvet Summer" is STARBOUND's most sophisticated and musically rich track — a Progressive Pop and Jazz Fusion AOR journey through golden nostalgia, inspired by the intricate musicianship of Toto, the harmonic depth of jazz fusion, and the emotional warmth of classic 80s pop. Featuring complex 7th chord progressions, an intricate slap bass line, syncopated groove, FM synth pads, a soaring melodic saxophone solo, and Chase Maverick's most tender and technically refined vocal performance to date.
