Acoustic warmth and the live crackle of authentic, unplugged musicianship is always refreshing amidst the modern rise of AI and electronic overproduction. Enter Taji Morod, with the vintage wonder of an acoustically rising and falling folk sound.
Backed by the simple two-chord strum of a guitar, and an easy-going additional layer of what sounds like melodica, the song follows the breathy and intimate vocals of Taji Morod through this simple yet striking original song.
There’s a sublime European vibe to the melodic stylings, to the raw kind of jazz-café essence of the arrangement and delivery, and all the while that voice lights up the space with genuine emotion and humility; again in a delicate way, that’s increasingly rare within the contemporary music realm.
We rise and fall further still, the melody and guitar pattern washing over us like waves of contemplation – laid-back lyrics reflecting on the space, the self, the mood of the moment.
Beautifully captured and refreshingly genuine, a fine example of organic songwriting and musicianship, and a quality that rings loud throughout Taji Morod’s extensive and enjoyable repertoire of original songs.
