Fractures (Mark Zito) delivers a sure hit with his latest Won’t Win.. The lead single, from the upcoming Fractures EP release, ebbs with tension which feels like a slight constriction about one’s heart. Surely, there is trouble in the kingdom of love. And as I watched the vid I noticed a lot of the frames are back-lit wit red (passion), green (jealousy) and blue (peace and tranquility). The subtext can be easily read as the color spectrum representation of human relationships. No? And get this, the Fractures EP drops July 4th, the day in the U.S where the literal fireworks fly. Is this all some sort of mad coincidence? No matter.
So far I am loving Fractures smoky hued and soulful delivery, and I even got my ears advanced access to the Fractures EP. It is good. It is damn good. Actually the EP has the feel of a full blown album. And as good as the track Won’t Win is the release glows with other gems as well. The opening track Embers stands out. Additional tracks catching my attention were Cadence, It’s Alright and my favorite Mortal. The Fractures band definitely has a future inside my heart. Peace.

Fractures, Won’t Win, lyrics:
I’m half asleep, you’re medicated, Crumbling inside ourselves.
My eyeballs leak, they’re lubricating, Try to think of something else.
And it seems to me, you’re so far removed, Your voice, it echoes through my head. And it seems to me, you’re too complicated, Think I’m better by myself.
(You Won’t Win)
I’ll rid myself of this war you started.
You’ve got a pulse but you seem so heartless. You found another to tear apart.
Your skin is grey, you’re colour-coded, Should have known to keep my distance. Your sunken face, your mind eroded, You barely even filled a space.
You came my way, and you stole my focus,
Smoke and mirrors game you played.
And I never knew how far you would take me.
(You Won’t Win)
I’ll rid myself of this war you started.
You’ve got a pulse but you seem so heartless. You found another to tear apart.
Why are you running, thought you could come and, Thought you could take control.
So undermining, figured you’d find a,
Problem you could solve.
You tell me you’re sorry, tell me you worry, tell me you found your faults. Then tell me I’m stubborn, tell me I smother,tell me I wrecked it all.
Why are you waiting, watch us decaying, watch as the walls go thin.
So sick inside, thought I could find you, but you won’t let me in.
(You Won’t Win)x3
I’ll rid myself of this war you started.
You’ve got a pulse but you seem so heartless.
You found another to tear apart.
