“Feels good to love again. Know that you’re my best friend,” is a recurring lyrical theme in Annapolis-based Rhett Repko’s latest single “Late Nights”. Repko considers late nights being with the one he loves or missing them because of those prolonged absences. The music video keeps those positive vibes going with rooftop dancing excursions while the sunset casts its long shadows. An experienced producer in his own right, Repko hears a sound in his head and tirelessly pursues it through a combination of his own talents in collaboration with other producers.
His website says, “A mix of retro and modern techniques drives Rhett to deliver the best of both worlds,” and you’ll hear that balance within the orchestration and production of “Late Nights” through traditional rock and roll instrumentation. While one of Repko’s primary influences is the Beatles, we found ourselves hearing a dash of Presidents of the United States of America as well, and it reminds us of local rocker Alex Vans before he retired from the DMV music scene to relocate to NYC.
