A Rebel Yell With Purpose
Tom Minor doesn’t whisper his intentions on Change It! — he throws them straight into the air and dares them to come back louder. The track lands with the restless energy of someone who’s done waiting for permission, blending vintage soul textures with indie rock grit in a way that feels raw, lived-in, and urgent. There’s a rough-edged swagger here, but beneath it sits something more vulnerable: the sound of a person standing at the edge of frustration and choosing motion over paralysis.
Musically, Change It! thrives on momentum. The guitar work crackles with attitude, pushing the song forward like it’s late for something important, while the rhythm section keeps everything grounded and purposeful. Nothing feels over-polished. That slight roughness works in the song’s favour, giving it the feel of a spontaneous outburst rather than a carefully staged performance. It’s the kind of track that sounds best when played loud, windows down, head full of half-formed plans.
What really sells the song, though, is Minor’s delivery. His voice carries a stubborn conviction — not the confidence of someone who has all the answers, but the determination of someone refusing to stay stuck. There’s confusion, defiance, hope, and impatience all colliding in real time, and that emotional friction gives the song its bite.
Change It! isn’t just about transformation; it feels like the first punch thrown in that direction. It’s energising, cathartic, and quietly motivating — a reminder that sometimes deciding to act is the most radical move of all.
