Ambient and atmospheric, soulful musical escapism – guided by softly expressive leading vocals, long-form melodies, and lyrics that feel both contemporary and classic in their appreciation of a significant other…
Songwriter and artist Ferbleu captures the essence of an intimate groove, with the careful design and hypnotic vocal stylings of Lustlove.
Artistically we’re somewhere between the likes of Prince and The Weeknd, only with a more soulful twist of creative triphop and lyrical vulnerability at its core. Then we get a touch of saxophone, a more sultry moment of instrumental appeal – something that adds further to the unique escapism of the Ferbleu sound.
The entire composition of Lustlove is in fact quite perfectly crafted – the faster tumble of the drums, the extensive verses and the contrasting simplicity of the hook resolve. It’s catchy and enchanting, setting a vibe that’s quick to drown out the noise of the outside world.
Ferbleu’s attention to detail is crucial, this balancing of natural passion and audience awareness being a key aspect of what lets the music connect in such a moving way. Consider the alternative mix of Lustlove, a few subtle changes carving out a slightly different angle and manner in which to enjoy the music’s embrace.
Also worth checking out is the single Come Around, a song offering a strong funky guitar groove and a catchy hook, to effectively showcase a whole other side to the Ferbleu creative approach. The voice remains consistent, gentle and almost falsetto in its delicacy, building towards passionate as the beat gathers dramatic momentum.
The overall creative set-up rings loud in a similarly distinct way, the music blending the familiarity of pop with the alternative freedom of an artist whose creative pathway is clearly uninhibited, and genuinely focused on feeling and intention as it pours through the airways.
