A completely stripped down sound defines the minimal work of “Before You Go”. By far the quietest piece of the trio here Elena Qarooni opts for a slow build letting the song gradually fall into place. The flourishes are so slight yet their emotional impact is undeniable. Elements of nostalgia come into the mix as the song appears reaches a pivotal crescendo towards the end.
