Wow, I forgot “How Far Do You Wanna Go?” came out almost two years ago! I’m not a big fan of country but I’ve always liked this song. I was listening to the Glee version of “Go Your Own Way” and I had it on repeat, when I started wanting to sing part of another song’s chorus…it took me ALL day to remember it but I remembered it was for Gloriana’s song!! Then of course I searched Google and found this. Ahh! Glad to know I wasn’t the only one to find similarities between the songs.

[...] Country Universe thinks the song shows the group has potential ; Roughstock calls it a "shiny, vocal delight" [...]

There’s really far too much volume in Gloriana’s sound; they’re trying too hard to sound rock, and at the same time they don’t quite grasp what made their rock forebears (Fleetwood Mac, for instance) so appealing. That said, it’s still early in the game for them; there’s always room for improvement.

I think my issue with this song (and Gloriana in general), is that there sound is too slick. For me, overproduction and too much harmony makes them sound like a choir, not a band.

They are probably very talented, but that conclusion will be harder to reach if they do not start recording less-produced, tight material.

I really like Lady A’s sound, but I think they were somewhat guilty of that on “I Run To You” and “Lookin For A Good Time.” The song had a good sound, and it was enjoyable enough, but after awhile the harmonies seem to blend into one sound, thus taking away a potentially unique song.

Dan, I actually don’t like the “chant” feel Gloriana’s vocals have…to me, it just sounds like harmonies that need to be tightened.

That said, I enjoy upbeat escapist songs as well, and these four really know how to infuse a very genuine, feel-good vibe into their music.

I’ve listened to this song and “Wild at Heart” a few times on Gloriana’s MySpace. I agree that this group may have some potential as Ms. Seetharam suggests, but these songs just didn’t do anything for me.
