Atmospheric depth pairs distorted darkness with intoxicating delicacy, as Maeve Bluebell Wells delivers the beautifully cinematic, poetic and powerful single Lucifer’s Dream.
Supposedly inspired by a shocking encounter with a stranger, the song feels like an anti-romance anthem for outcasts in love, and achieves further sentimental strength in that vein for its dreamy arrangement of keys, vocal fragments, and this simple yet striking melody.
Lyrically intriguing and ambiently intertwined with that approach, Lucifer’s Dream appears to fall somewhere between the likes of nostalgic trip hop and Lana Del Rey. The vocal is distant, almost whispered, the melody enchanting and hopeful, the production light yet immersive – not so far removed from the mainstream hits of Massive Attack, back in the day.
Promising an impressive sense of originality in both topic and design, Lucifer’s Dream introduces West Wales artist and songwriter Maeve Bluebell Wells in a way that will most likely resonate and prompt listeners to seek out more music. Hopefully there’s plenty in the pipeline.
