From ambient vocal harmonies through an upbeat indie pop arrangement that’s timeless in its fusion of light dance and intimate heartbreak, FERDIE blends melancholy and optimism quite seamlessly, with the gentle to impassioned single Till Dawn.
Boldly relatable as you fall into the emotional ache and nostalgia of the lyrics, Till Dawn reflects upon the youthful love and unity of the past – those relationships that fell from our grip, before we even had a chance to appreciate their glory.
The song talks of the years slipping away unnoticed, and the separation and ache of living different lives. It takes us through the struggle of longing, the depths of the soul, and the nostalgia for those wild nights spent amidst the beating of the drum. We remember the dance floor, the carefree escapism, the connection, and the song stylistically represents that journey, from missing something to feeling its embrace and positivity all over again.
Really unique, likable and somewhat retro-electro by design but still deeply moving in essence, Till Dawn features a neo-classical string sound and quirky vocal riff, alongside these tribal vocal waves of warmth, and that fusion of elements is quite intoxicating, and instantly recognisable. FERDIE has a sound that’s intriguing, and a songwriting approach that’s genuine, and refreshingly honest. I look forward to hearing more.
