CJ Sooy looks back without losing momentum on latest release “Yesterday”

CJ Sooy opens “Yesterday” with the kind of rock perspective that makes nostalgia feel physical, not sentimental. The song is a reflection on a relationship or a part of life, about memories that have emotional impact, but also that you can't go back and get yesterday. CJ Sooy brings that conflict to the performance with a directness that gives the writing its punch. It has a driving rock foundation with guitars to give it forward motion, even as the lyrics keep looking backward.
