Rob Larkin writes & performs from a place of passion & experience, so the finish is always very polished, very well crafted, and simultaneously very natural seeming.
Songwriter
There’s a gorgeously interwoven sense of humanity & community about the sound, about the song in general, which further reinforces this idea of ‘no matter what’ – this concept of permanence, of unconditional affection.
The raw passion & energy that Elisabeth brings to the song is infectious, motivational even, and the finish production-wise gives everything the power it needs to strike hard.
Stunning. A totally immersive & addictively emotional song that sky-rockets Zach Andersen to a whole other level of songwriting.
The music is immense, the hook is familiar in an instant, and so when the energy reaches that peak you can barely contain your inclination to sing along. It’s a mighty song made all the more powerful by its delivery.
Fear is not very me. I’m like a positive tornado wrecking all the negative shit that’s out there. You could put me in front of an active nuclear bomb & I would dance & sing to it. Fuck that bomb, this is my moment.
It can be heartbreaking when an audience doesn’t get what you’re trying to do. Most professionals have to learn to become uncaring to a point to continue performing live as almost all live performances are ‘without a net’, so to speak.
This meeting of personal reality & the cinematic world of horror works well. The soundscape showcases equal parts of each – the screams, the fear, the detail, and the undeniably emotional, dramatic leading voice.
It’s a pleasure to get to embrace these original works. Hopefully many more people continue to discover & connect with them in the near future.
I like to blur the lines between fiction & reality. While I write about personal experiences in some songs, I also draw inspiration from video games, anime, movies, comics, etc. Taking fictional characters, settings & scenarios and mixing them with real life experiences.
Kama Vardi’s entirely captivating songwriting shines with immense brightness. Every line offers something uniquely expressive & thought provoking. Not a moment is wasted.
