This Week’s ‘Spring Folklore’ List Imparts a Sweet, Contemplative Melancholy

By

Tim Camrose – Light in the Dark 

Time Camrose’s latest release, ‘Light in the Dark’ leads you to find greater perspective and power in your pain. Featuring the Collectives Gospel Choir, the song is immersive and delightfully overwhelming. In the backdrop of Tim Camrose’s baritones, the choir gives us choral harmonies. Its energy and emotion lifts the spirit, finds the light and keeps it positive. There is an aliveness that you feel, that sparks the light in your darkness. The piano melodies, guitar acoustics, and the slow beats, all of it keep you swirling in the music, with the lyrical emotion, and stay with it, rise with it and grow with it. So if you cannot believe for yourself that good things are on their way to you, Tim Camrose will do it for you. 

Ramblerman – Midday Melancholy 

Ramblerman is a singer-songwriter and acoustic artist. His tracks are marked by crisp melodies and moody undertones, a duality that you’ll especially come to love. Like in his latest single, ‘Midday Melancholy’, a track that explores the lull of lament that sometimes strikes during the afternoon. The vocals are deep and steeped in melancholy as it spins around a slow carousel of melodies. The molten guitar accents create a depth of slumber that you can fall into. And with acoustics lightening this space and piano melodies creating peaks within it, it is such a soft yet detailed track. With each stroke, a new depth seems to be created and a new feeling discovered. Perfect for rainy days. Listen Now! 

Exzenya – Captivity 

This week’s last song is Exzenya’s ‘Captivity’, a song that explores the essence of the theme with a warping soundscape and vocals. The artist gets into the depravity and depths of captivity, especially in the aftermath of trauma or perhaps during it. It’s a dark space and it’s meant to give you perspective on counter themes like freedom, healing and growth, all of it forming on the flip side. It’s a complex, experimental track that alienates the listener, but also makes you feel seen and validated in your pain. If you’re in the mood to explore a fresh and special kind of music, then Exzenya is for you.
