New ari hicks: Moonlight-tinted Slow Burned Alt Pop
“Sad Ghost” is a stunning slow burn alt pop single chronicling the feelings of being stuck in life. With moonlight-tinted synths under ari’s pristine vocals and an intoxicating bass heavy drop to boot, “Sad Ghost” is a delectable infusion of pop, electronic and alt R&B. The song is a deeply confessional track, with ari showing a raw vulnerability and a new side of herself that listeners have yet to see. On the meaning of the haunting single ari confides, “It’s about getting a little too familiar with an emotion that you probably shouldn’t, and yourself to get a little too comfortable and stuck in that place of being. There’s a vacancy in my presence in this song or almost lack thereof, meant to signify the moment I noticed that I felt whatever this was for so long, I could barely even feel it at all anymore if that makes sense. Feeling alone, secluded, tired, tired of being disappointed and let down. Eventually the easiest thing to do becomes numbing yourself from it almost entirely. “Sad Ghost” is the voice I gave to that numbness.”
Jonas Colstrup releases new single ‘At The Crest’, title track of forthcoming album
October 20th – Today, Danish composer Jonas Colstrup is releasing ‘At The Crest’, third single and title track of his forthcoming album “At The Crest”, out on November 18th via the Berlin-based 7K!.
“This song was one of those ideas that just came fully formed, and all I needed to do was just fill in the blanks so to speak. I am very drawn to pieces where a little idea is carefully rotated and continuously repeated making it more and more emotionally charged. This kind of ‘passacaglia’ is utilised throughout the album”, says Colstrup.
