Deeply atmospheric trip-hop production meets with breathy and soulful vocals, for an RnB-fusion single that’s as evocative as it is mood-setting and ultimately uplifting. Vironnica delivers a seductive and catchy anthem of longing to connect, for the poetic and immersive Mirage.
Initially nostalgic in its delicacy and ambiance, Mirage soon impresses for its vocal character and expression – this blending of poetic imagery and personal references. Later on, as the hook kicks in, the song takes on a whole new persona and presence. The energy rises in an instant, the beat and sudden passion injecting a strong groove and memorable melody that effortlessly ensnares the listener.
This fine uniting of warming bass, euphoric synths and cascading vocals makes for a brilliant twist on the original format. The result is that Mirage emerges as both an ear-worm of a potential hit, and an unpredictable alternative gem of escapism gifted to the underground realm.
Worthy production and enchanting but also recognizable vocals help give Vironnica a clear sound that’s distinct. The quiet rasp, the poetic references, the increasing emotion and energy – all of this intertwines beautifully with the careful production and shifting structure of Mirage.
A brilliantly impactful track, rightfully placing songwriting as highly as performance in terms of what connects and breaks through the noise of the industry. Hopefully there’s plenty more music to follow.
