VIIAL - Supernova

-

 

An emotional and evocative track, “Supernova” marks an interesting detour into a more shoegaze-sounding territory for Portuguese artist VIIAL.

The song is inspired by the famous Van Gogh painting “The Starry Night” and was originally included in the online collective project “The Sound Gallery” by American artist Godsviolin.

The track starts out with a lonesome piano melody, surrounded by a swirling and mysterious soundscape, which soon explodes into a gorgeous and uplifting melody with full instrumentation.

The vocal delivery is reminiscent of Sigur Ros, with the ethereal production adding to the effect.

If you enjoy bands like Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Ros you might want to give “Supernova” a listen.


You can find VIIAL on Spotify and Instagram.

His voice can be heard echoing throughout the composition, paying tribute to the traditional sounds of Fado - a genre of music unique to Portugal. This track carries the mystical mood of the...

  Arnon Ray Pereira is a singer-songwriter based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. And who knew that this tropical island had so much soul to share with the world? "Easy on me" is a beautifully crafted song that reminds us of those old soul and jazz tunes that are perfect for a lazy sunday afternoon or a even hot summer evening. The production is fittingly sparse, with a groovy bassline running throughout the track accompanied by some chill guitar chords and a chorus of backing vocals. Pereira has a very warm tone to his voice that lays perfectly on top of the instrumental as he begs the object of his affection to "go easy" on him. This song was a very special surprise and it will leave you feeling instantly relaxed and in a good mood. You can find Arnon Ray Pereira on Spotify and Instagram .
