Sincerity and self-discovery, a conceptual realism and intimacy expressed through the intricate layering of dreamy synths, keys, and light rhythms. N!cole presents an ethereal walk through introspective thoughts and feelings, with the evocative embrace of getting there (somewhere).
Stylistically presenting as something of an alternative, indie pop or even shoegaze arrangement, the song is also quick to impress from a writing and vocal perspective – a level of skill in the set-up that helps elevate the depth and honesty of the writing.
The voice feels genuinely connected to these ideas and reflections, a tired to impassioned, wave-like rise and fall, reaching a totally unexpected crescendo for the song’s much more emotional and multi-layered hook.
This moment redirects things instrumentally, too, leading now with a kind of anthemic sense of possibility and arena-ready fullness. Once again, the lyrics, the delivery, and the musicianship, all unite faultlessly, for a fully consuming moment of expression – a deeply personal one, but which effectively cries out on behalf of anyone’s sense of lostness or uncertainty.
Fantastic writing and musical authenticity. N!cole connects in an instant with getting there (somewhere). I look forward to hearing more.
