If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Colette Auger Considering Prateek's latest single is a straightforward song that leans towards the mainstream side of that genre, it's incredibly hard to categorize. It starts off with what sounds like steel guitar, so right away you're going to think Prateek has gone country. But "All the Stars" isn't country. Except when it is. The country side of the song fades out and then back in throughout the song and a more traditional modern folk sound takes over. This is what's great and unique about "All the Stars": It's not a country/folk song. It's a country song and a folk song. With his newest single, Prateek has truly outdone himself and truly deserves our attention. You can listen to "All the Stars" below. You can find the single via your preferred streaming service here . For more on Prateek, check out his website .

Photo via Facebook Boston's own Prateek is one of those artists we feel obligated to bring to you. He deserves far more attention than he gets, and he's going to explode if he's ever given that attention. His latest single, "All the Stars," is the kind of song that demonstrates this. It's a mainstream acoustic folk song. Your mom would hear this and decide it's nice. You could hear "All the Stars" in literally every coffee shop in America. But, unlike most music that your mom finds nice and gets played in coffee shops, this song is incredibly good. Prateek has this quality that I can't describe that is just so captivating. It could be that is voice, while fitting this genre of music perfectly, has a unique vibe to it that sets it apart and sucks us music snobs in. It also doesn't hurt that Prateek can write a hell of a song. You can listen to "All the Stars" below. For more on Prateek, check out his website .
