Singularity - Drowning (Paragon Reviews)

Right, been a while since I've done an in depth review on a track that I truly am enjoying... there has been alot of amazing releases coming out but rather than take time to do one for all (I may do in future) I thought I'd just share my thoughts and feelings on one of the most amazing tracks I've heard all year round by one of my favourite Artists 'Singularity'.


Singularity - Drowning

I actually found this dude through Au5's remix of his track 'Alone' and I was completely speechless (in a good way!) at his other tracks, though it did confuse me when the original of 'Alone' had more vocoded vocals than the remix, and so I though I'd follow him every way possible. But recently I hadn't seen anything new at all from him, then he put out a batch of four previews, and this track for free!

Also you can find another track on youtube to listen to before the EP is released, here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRP3bJPkF_Y

So, Drowning, I was super excited for this one as it seems that the shy boundary he had before with his own vocals has been completely banished for this EP, and what has come out of it is this (Forgive the reference) legendary mashup of Adam Young (Owl City) style melodic vocals, and upbeat drumstep beats that sound like they were fresh off Pendulum's In Silico album!

The songs intro is a beautiful contrast to what is the actual song, with a beautiful modulated 8-bit intro it makes you instantly immersed to hear what comes next in this amazingly structured track. The drums are so well mixed with the airy, yet mellow, pads that the entire song sounds perfect.  And then the chorus kicks in! Never before have I heard Singularity's signature synth been put to perfect use as well as it has been in this track. The song will keep your ears on their feet constantly and you won't hesitate to smile whilst listening!

The best part about this song is that even though the 8-bit arp runs throughout alot of the song, you can tell that so much thought has been put into the variation and structure in this beautiful track! well worth the download, and pre-order on his new EP (Which will be featuring extra vocals from Anna Yvette and Jenn Lucas, and piano from the amazing Evan Duffy).

Lastly I wanted to make a note about the amazing lyrics in this song, whether it is wrote about true story or imagined fairy tale. the lyrics stand very close to me and I think very close to him, and that makes the track even more amazing <3
