Our featured single, ‘XO’ by Calhuis, is OUT NOW and available to stream on all major streaming platforms!
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Calhuis is an up and coming duo who burst onto the streaming scene this year with their debut single ‘XO’. Calhuis consists of Harrison Caldeira and Jordan Vyfhuis who both live in Toronto, Ontario. Although the duo receive creative inspiration from a number of artists, they combine a variety of stylistic elements to form their unique sound.
FEATURED RELEASE
Our featured single, ‘XO’ by Calhuis, is out now and available to stream on all major streaming platforms! The single lasts three minutes and eight seconds and sits at a steady 90bpm. The track commences with a thirteen second introduction that combines initial vocalisations with an ambient guitar progression; setting the tone for the instigation of the proceeding verse.
The vocal color is clean and emotive; seamlessly synchronising with the flow of the instrumental accompaniment. The implementation of layered backing vocals provides a depth to the overall sound without detracting from the prominence of the main vocal. The beat kicks in at the 0:55 mark and resultantly drives the smooth rhythmic flow of the single.
The stylistic layering of a reverse electric guitar (check out 2:22 to 2:25) is just one example of the many creative elements that add an original flare to this track. By the time this single draws to a close with a solo vocal and stripped back instrumentation, you’ll find yourself humming the catchy main hook and in need of hitting that repeat button for another listen.
From the well balanced mix and creative compositional arrangement, to the impressive vocal performance, fans of Calhuis, as well as those who appreciate new and creative music, will definitely want to hear this single.
