FEATURED RELEASE
Our featured single, ‘Modern Day Love Story’ by SELYK, is out on the 30th of October and will be available to stream on all major streaming platforms! The single lasts two minutes and twenty-six seconds and sits at a smooth 120bpm.
“I found the idea of a love story taken place during the current pandemic to be interesting. Modern Day Love Story is a fictional tale of someone desperate to lock a relationship down before the next lockdown.”
The track commences with a seven second instrumental introduction that features a solo riff that sets the tone for the proceeding verse. The percussion kicks in at the 0:08 mark and resultantly drives the rhythmic flow of the single. SELYK’s vocal color is clean and emotive; seamlessly synchronising with the instrumentation. The lyricism addresses the current pandemic and gives an insight into SELYK’s personal feelings about 2020.
A melodic shift towards a higher register for the main hook adds just the right amount of dynamic diversification to ensure that the track is engaging from start to finish. A variety of subtle effects, like the partially distorted vocal from 1:45 to 1:52, showcase SELYK’s creative compositional talent.
From the well balanced mix and catchy hook, to the authentic vocal performance, fans of SELYK, as well as those who appreciate new and creative music, will definitely want to hear this single. Make sure you follow SELYK on social media to keep up to date with upcoming releases and performances!
