FEATURED RELEASE
Our featured single, ‘The Darkest Part’ by Cold Engines, is out now and available to stream on all major streaming platforms! The single lasts two minutes and fifty-three seconds and sits at a steady 116bpm. The track commences with a seven second instrumental introduction that features a foundational acoustic guitar progression; setting the melodic tone for the proceeding verse.
The vocal color is clean and emotive; seamlessly synchronising with the flow of the instrumental accompaniment. The combination of the smooth strings, steady acoustic guitar, solid percussion, foundational bass, subtle piano, and electric riffs amalgamate to form a unified sound that is perfectly balanced. The implementation of layered backing vocals (check out 2:19 to 2:21) adds a creative flare to the vocal performance without detracting from the prominence of the main vocal line. By the time this single has finished, you’ll find yourself humming the main hook and in need of hitting that repeat button to satiate your desire for another listen.
From the well balanced production and impressive instrumentation, to the authentic vocal performance, fans of Cold Engines, as well as those who appreciate new and creative music, will definitely want to hear this single.
