“Way of Loving” is a great track with ear-catching melodies and a smooth indie sound. The track opens with a shaker that lays the groundwork for the rhythm. The lead singer enters shortly after, and soon enough the track kicks into gear. The rest of the instrumentation appears, and it immediately has a great indie sound with all of the instruments put together. The guitars provide a great backing rhythm for the track, and they layer on top of the bass and drums perfectly. The beat is steady for the most part, and it gives the track a nice laid-back groove.

The production on the track is excellent. Everything sounds clean, with each instrument situated well within the mix. The guitars cut through with a nice reverb-laden treble, and the snare hits perfectly with a punchy sound. The vocals are layered on top of the instrumentation and come through well, which gives the track a really nice presence. There are few effects on this track, which ends up being a good thing because it gives the song space when it easily could have become cluttered with any unnecessary additions.

The songwriting on the track is developed and full of great lines. The guitars hold steady with nice progression, while the bass is allowed to pop in and out with great melodic accents. The vocal melody is also very memorable on “Way of Loving.” It jumps around a lot, yet it has a smooth quality to it at the same time. The lead singer does a fantastic job delivering the lyrics, and his voice sounds great with the melody throughout the song. In terms of the arrangement, there is a gradual build from the verse, which has an easy-going vibe for its section of the song. Then the chorus arrives, where the vocals and instrumentation jump up and increase the energy of the track. It creates a nice change of pace in the song, and it gives the track more variety. The song carries this pattern throughout, but it never gets repetitive.

“Way of Loving” is a fantastic track, and a great single from the band Ivytide. The production is superb, and the instrumentation is exciting and groovy.
