"Breakout" is a song by Danish rock band Cryoshell, released as the third single from their self-titled debut studio album on December 9, 2012.
Written by Mikkel Maltha, the song was recorded in late 2011 and produced by Jacob Hansen. "Breakout" is set to be included as a bonus track in a reissue of the band's debut album slated for release by Norwegian record label The Leaders, a date is to be confirmed.
Background
"Breakout" was written by Mikkel Maltha in 2011 and was recorded the following fall at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark with producer Jacob Hansen.[1] Along with a re-recording of the track "Gravity Hurts", the song features Danish singer Tine Midtgaard standing in for regular vocalist Christine Lorentzen while she took maternity leave from the band. Both songs will feature as bonus tracks on an upcoming reissue of Cryoshell's self-titled debut album, a release date is to be confirmed.
"Breakout" is also featured in the credits of the animated television series Hero Factory in episodes 8 and 9; the two-part story Breakout.
Reception
"Breakout" has received positive reviews from music critics. Greek Rebels applauded the track as "diversified and dynamic with a very nice introductory melody",[2] while Ravenheart Music described it as "poppy and very catchy".[3]
iTunes A to Z reviewed the track as "A little lighter" and "A brighter feel" in comparison's to Cryoshell's earlier work while criticizing its production as more of a b-side track, but overall calling it "A good, solid rock track", and Midtgaard's contribution as "A serviceable job" in emulating Lorentzon’s voice while seemingly stifling her own.[4]
