I visited Bryan 's EPK and first listened to “Think of Me;” It's a very laid back instrumental, that features the piano, very subtle percussion and string accompaniment. Bryan creates a very relaxing environment. The string orchestra is used judiciously and effectively. The string samples are life-like and he has done an excellent job of performing them as well as blending them into the fabric of this instrumental.
Bryan has only supplied a very short sample of "Think of Me". And it's only when the song unexpectedly ends that you realize that the tune has hypnotized you, gotten subtle command of your attention, something that you were not even aware of as you listened to what seemed to be a simple, and melodically unremarkable tune. Was this planned or is it just a coincidence? To answer this I then listened to "Motion" & "Missing You" (both instrumentals). They were consistent with the style of "Think of Me You very relaxed, clear & purposeful. Although "Motion" was an up tempo instrumental, it also adhered to melodic simplicity, and structure. Bryan should continue to exploit this formula as he has made a good start in developing a nice little niche for himself.
