In a seamless transition, the dynamic string orchestrations add a solid edge of confidence and strength on top of the composition. The strumming guitars throughout gives the song a punchy feel, and there’s a real passion to the way the vocals are presented in this piece. “I’m Walking Away” oozes swagger and ownership, and the hook in the chorus is terrific.

It is a really nice radio-friendly track from an artist that resembles something from the late nineties and early 2000s in the best way possible. It’s richly organic sounding and a far cry from the sterile programmed computer music, we’re currently accustomed to. Musically, this track shines in the way the guitar and string arrangements are so well put together.
