Felicity Urquhart and Josh Cunningham dig into something darker and more urgent on “New Frontier,” a gritty, blues-soaked duet that questions where modern life is heading. Driven by bluesy acoustic guitar riffs and electric lines that weave between the vocals, the song carries a restless energy that feels both reflective and defiant.
The arrangement moves with intention. Warm acoustic guitar lays the foundation while electric guitar phrases slip in between vocal lines, adding soulful textures and emotional lift. The vocal melody is distinctive and memorable, pulling the listener in with a sense of tension that never quite settles.
Lyrically, “New Frontier” takes aim at digital dependence, algorithmic influence, and a culture increasingly shaped by fear. Rather than preaching, Urquhart and Cunningham deliver a steady warning about the cost of unchecked progress. When they ask, “Is authority truth or truth authority?” the question lands like a challenge, an invitation to think critically about the systems shaping everyday life.
At its core, “New Frontier” feels like a quiet revolution song, less about spectacle and more about awakening. There’s a sense of urgency running through the track, a reminder that change begins with awareness and the willingness to question what we’re told.
With its blues-rooted sound and sharp message, “New Frontier” stands as a call to reclaim agency, a musical push to take the power back.
