Review: "I Could Be Him" - Matthew Orgel

"I Could Be Him" by Matthew Orgel is a song about wanting to be like someone else; seeing that they are perfect and wanting to be just like them. This could evolve from having a crush on someone and wanting to imitate that person so you can impress them, as per the line "He's got everything in check, and I'm a little bit obsessed". The lyrics may be written in the perspective of someone who easily gets lost in the crowd and is not as popular as the person they want to be - that is one of the main reasons why they want to be him. They want to be as popular as him so they can get his attention, something many people can relate to.

The production and instrumentation of "I Could Be Him" is flawless and is part of a song perfect for a pool party or listening to on the radio while you're driving on the way there. It's so fun and Orgel also possess incredible vocals. His voice makes for the perfect pop song and "I Could Be Him" has great harmonies, octave switches, and melodies. The bass line makes the song very distinct and creatively produced. The main guitar chords are what makes the song so upbeat, and the fact that they change throughout the song really adds depth to the instrumentation. That and the sparkling synths also add to the summery essence the song radiates.

Matthew Orgel is a musician, actor, and philanthropist from New York, and is based in Boston for the time being while he is a student at Berklee. Growing up, he had a passion for music and wanted to begin a career in it one day, a dream that came true in 2017 with the release of "Independence Day", a song from him and his brother Jacob, the two halves of The Great Perhaps. They have made music together, but Matthew makes solo music as well. He is very charitable, often donating the money he makes from music. Matthew Orgel is an amazing and very talented artist!
