The intro of the single “okay?” is a cinematic unrolling of a lush red carpet. The carpet leads to a song that masterfully weaves elements from different genres into a sophisticated texture and a much needed reassuring chorus of “It’s gonna be okay.” Better yet, The Royal Foundry released an entertaining video that features two separated astronauts struggling to reunite.
Fans of different genres will disagree as to which contribution raises “okay?” above other praiseworthy songs. For us, the Rock-ready guitar hooks have a unavoidable magnetic attraction. For example, at 1:36, the guitar travels with the power percussion to enhance the determination of the vocals. But what about the Folk Pop catchy chorus, particularly in the last minute, when a more distant voice echoes the resolve of the forefront vocals? Additionally, “okay?” is another song in which The Royal Foundry fit video game sounds into one their singles (for example, at 3:24. And is that a distant Pac-Man in the fadeout final 12 seconds?)
“okay?” is the third single from The Royal Foundry 2019 album, “WAKEUP WAKEUP.” The voices on the single belong to the wife-and-husband team of Jared and Bethany Salte. They are based in Sherman Park in Alberto, Canada. For the video, The Royal Foundry teamed with animator Hudson Munshaw, who is based in Calgary, AB. They describe the video as:
“The story of two astronauts in space falling apart and ultimately being separated on two worlds. We follow their struggle with these worlds and the paranormal as they try find each other again. The first part of the story is told through the video and the second part resolves the story in comic book form, which will be available for purchase as a digital download or a limited edition physical copy on the band’s website in the coming months. http://www.theroyalfoundry.com.”
