It's the fourth quarter of 2016 and it seems as if acts are rushing out the end of the year releases, and for good reason as well. 2016 proved to be a rather exciting years with brief stints of hyper activeness and quietness but the music never stopped. One specific act that has been making waves from the moment they hit the spotlight is The Exhale. The boyband made up of teenage members Jayson Gerard, Matheo Gautier, Rafael Blanche and Jonas Rosseau have been quickly making their way up the rankings of the industry after being discovered by one of Permanent Reminder front-women Candice Cortez. Originally named "The Four" the boys made quite the name for themselves in their home country of France as exciting street performers who simply found a love for music, singing and performance. After being discovered, the group was re-vamped as The Exhale and signed to Permanent Reminder.
After receiving from impromptu training from some of pop music's elite over at Permanent Reminder, the newly named The Exhale embarked on Kato's massive "For The Record Tour" that instantly exposed The Exhale to a wide range of fans and gave them their first "live performance" experiences that the boys called "unbelievable and a "dream come true". It seems as if they were just getting started as later on in 2016 The Exhale announced their debut record "Firework", that was smartly released on Firework's Day (U.K) on November 5th, 2016. The single was met with mixed to mostly positive reviews and skyrocketed the charts, really giving The Exhale the exposure they might have not expected so quickly in their careers. Later that week the boys had a very candid interview with Pop-phase and even performed on the X-Factor in support of their hot debut single. Whether no one knows it or not, the boys have been hard at work on releasing their debut album, which is set for an early 2017 release.
Despite Firework being released over a month ago, the boys of The Exhale have been excitedly waiting to release yet another song for their "exhalers". After the success of Firework, the members have been teasing an early second release on all of their social media's, calling it an early "present" for their fans who have been ever-so supportive of all the things the boys do and especially for being patient. Their debut release had been pushed back for unknown reasons earlier this year so the members collectively felt like releasing another record for the fans would really supply the appetite of their fans who have been waiting and could really set them up for their debut album, all the while giving listeners more of a taste of what is to come from their highly anticipated debut studio album. Earlier this year, The Exhaled penned a track and entered the studio with well known producer J.R Rotem and recorded a track entitled "Let You Go". This track was specifically chosen as a second release and a follow up to Firework, because unlike Firework which is mostly looked at as an uplifting, floor filling club banger, "Let You Go" really gives the boys a chance to show off their vocal abilities slightly better than the dance-floor heavy debut, all the while maintaining that catchy youthful sound that The Exhale is slowly becoming known for.
"Let You Go" is a single release by French pop boyband "The Exhale" and will be released on December 17th, 2016 worldwide through Permanent Reminder as a promotional single from their to be announced debut album. The record was produced by J.R Rotem and features vocals by The Exhale members Jayson Gerard, Matheo Gautier, Jonas Rosseau, and Rafael Blanche. The record is a doo-wop styled track that pleasantly shows off solid vocal performances by all four members of The Exhale. Over a feel good, sultry-esque production, the boys tackles the topic of letting go of problematic after the feeling of love seems to have left their hearts and in the end, it was best to let that person go. With striking lyrics that even give a hint of provactive-ness, the members tell a story in three minutes and thirty seconds over a subtle, breezy record while the chorus is light and insanely catchy with it's soulful, retro styled production that is bigger than the rest of the verses sound wise.
The record starts off with a snapping, clapping intro that is aided by the vocals of Jayson Gerard who begins the record with his proclaiming vocals that sink in well with the laid back production of the record. Right after his lines, Rafael comes in, Raffy has a voice slightly similar to Jayson's but with a nasal to it, making it easy to recognize whenever he begins singing. Jayson then makes way again, singing the pre-chorus as the songs rises up into the big chorus. The boys join together for the chorus, as their voices blend wonderfully together. You can mostly hear Jayson and Matheo's vocals blending over their harmonizing voices, you can instantly tell they took the lead for the chorus. While Rafael and Jonas are heard too, Jayson and Matheo's voices are slightly turned up. It works well as their voices are bigger, but blend well with Rafael and Jonas who have softer tones. Matheo then takes the second chorus. He really gets a chance to show off his soulful, R&B like emotive vocals. There's a grit to Matheo's vocals that has him stand out over such mellow production. Jonas's soft, distinct vocals are heard next as he sings after Matheo. His voice glides nicely over the slow beats, and Jonas has a soft controlled voice that sounds in place with the production. Jayson and Jonas then tackle the next lines and then the chorus makes way once more. After, the boys all join together for bridge, each splitting a line until we get to the chorus once again. Here the boys do adlibs, singing in the background. Jayson gives a few high notes along with Matheo. Finally, the final lines of the record are sung by Jayson and the song comes to a doo wopping end.
 Jayson
Matheo
Raffy
Jonas The clock's ticking down, day by day
Counting the time till I have the nerve to say
Words that were stuck inside my head
Words that I wish I would've said
I always hoped that maybe you would change,
That you would finally grow up act your age.
But that never happened so I turned a new page.
Baby I wasn't strong enough
Strong enough for all the head f*ck
Had me going round in constant circles,
Was it me?
Or was it plain bad luck?
When I was feeling that our love had lost its meaning,
I just opened up my heart and I let you go. (Let you go)
Cause even the darkest days must always have an ending,
But that ending was a long, long time ago.
Yeah that ending was a long, long time ago.
When I was feeling that our love had lost its meaning,
I just opened up my heart and I let you go. (Let you go)
Let you go girl, I let you go.
I shake it up but I can't forget,
All those times I've been upset.
You killed the boy inside,
And now he'll never come alive.
Cause you pushed and you shoved,
And it's never enough for you.
Yeah what did you do?
Oh what did you do now?
Please don't ask me how i'm feeling,
I've been upfront with you from the get go
If its not right I can't be doing this
You were messing with my head, asking me to take it slow
So now it's time to say I gotta let you.
When I was feeling that our love had lost its meaning,
I just opened up my heart and I let you go. (Let you go)
Cause even the darkest days must always have an ending,
But that ending was a long, long time ago.
Yeah that ending was a long, long time ago.
When I was feeling that our love had lost its meaning,
I just opened up my heart and I let you go. (Let you go)
Let you go girl, I let you go.
All those thoughts and prayers when times became so hard,
I broke down and wondered if we could restart.
Now I'm sitting, here without you, and I'm moving on
And I'm forgetting everything you did wrong.
When I was feeling that our love had lost its meaning,
I just opened up my heart and I let you go. (Let you go)
Cause even the darkest days must always have an ending,
But that ending was a long, long time ago.
Yeah that ending was a long, long time ago.
When I was feeling that our love had lost its meaning,
I just opened up my heart and I let you go. (Let you go)
Let you go girl, I let you go.
Baby I ain't strong enough
Strong enough for all this head f*ck
Going round in constant circles,
Was it me?
Or was it plain bad luck?
