Prolific bassist and songwriter Gregory McLoughlin has released his latest single, “Hemispheres” on January 15. Gregory McLoughlin, hailing from Jersey City, NJ, creates bass-forward, and acoustic tracks that can best fit into the category of folk or soft rock.
A first thought on Gregory’s single, “Hemispheres,” is the opening sounds quite reminiscent of Bob Seger’s “Against the Wind.” It begins with a subtle bassline, melodic piano, and a recognizable acoustic riff. You can also hear accordion kick in as the vocals do. Backing vocal harmonies on this track are quite smooth and relaxing.
The song tells a tale about a sort-of yearning for summer adventure with loved one. Certainly, a vibe any Northeasterner in the winter can get behind. The song has a mix of a tropical, Margaritaville sound, and American Folk. There is a smooth, guitar solo between verses and the chorus, which remains in the background for the remainder of the tune.
The single has the same melody throughout, with little to no diversion in neither vocals nor instrumentation. That said, the song is sweet-sounding, and one where emotion and hope are the defining narratives.
This is a song about summertime, but specifically inspired by the beautiful landscape of

New England’s Cape Cod National Seashore. I am releasing it in the dead of Winter to
remind us of warm summer memories and help push us through the cold months.
