Uniquely dreamy production and a mellow groove unite descending, bluesy chords with somewhat shoegaze-like tones and delicate vocals. Noah Milanovi celebrates intimacy and the wonder of wandering, with the jazz-kissed and colourful when we get to the hill.
Rising up from these humble, organic beginnings, to a vocally quite sublime and impressive performance, when we get to the hill soon highlights the versatility and depth of Noah’s sound and scenic devotion. His voice is divine, smooth and expressive as we make our way through these long-form but satisfying progressions of melody and imagery.
In terms of setting the mood, Noah Milanovi really captures something special with this sound – taking listeners to precisely the scene of the story, and proceeding to deliver both calmness and passion intermittently as we walk this landscape together. Think Jamie Cullum but with something more crisp and indie-pop-esque about the design and overall feel of the music.
Beautifully created and presented, when we get to the hill is refreshingly original yet also well-rooted amidst the familiar, comforting building blocks of the jazz and indie-pop genres. It’s a pleasure to lose yourself within this music, and that seems to be precisely the intention – to offer something to help audiences escape from the weight of the world, to wander freely and appreciate the little things that light up the way.
“And if we get lost then let’s get lost, All roads lead to Rome don’t they?”
