In the song ‘Play God’, Fender shows off his talent both as a musician and as a songwriter. The melody is compelling, and Fender’s distinctive, expressive voice leaves the listener captivated. Guitar work is excellent, played with energy and artful arrangement. Lyrically, the song is engaging and pertinent, dealing with topics of control and social concerns with a touch of poetry. The song, then, is not just a song, but an experience. Each note is laced with Fender’s passion and sincerity. A must-hear for everyone who loves a song with soul.
