Right this moment Brooklyn-based Pop artist Sophie Colette drops her new pop anthem Don’t Fear. It’s her first launch since 2019 and though it might have been a little bit of a wait, I feel it’s value it.
Followers of Sophie Colette can be acquainted with her potential to encourage and uplift by way of her music, and Don’t Fear is not any exception to this. An understated introduction pushed by piano and vocals wastes little time in revealing the guts of the track to be a head-nodding, toe-tapping ballad.
Because the track builds, I can already see myself transferring to the music in a bar or a membership on an evening out and as soon as the power ranges in Don’t Fear are raised, they keep largely constant all through (quick middle-eighth part however). This might typically indicate a track with little dynamic vary, nonetheless, by way of the masterful use of delicate adjustments, Sophie Colette has managed to make a track that’s each constant and fascinating.
The vocals specifically, drift out and in of sequence with the piano line in a manner that highlights every in flip. There may be area right here for every instrument to shine and it appears like each be aware, each phrase, has been positioned with the best of care. Nothing is pointless, every part is essential.
“I needed to put in writing a track I may dance to, to shake off negativity, and get myself away from bed to make that cup of espresso within the morning and dress. I wanted it as my very own antidote to loneliness and self doubt. It turned a reminder that I might be my very own cheerleader and push myself out of a funk.” – Sophie Colette
If I had been to supply one criticism of Don’t Fear, it might be that the ending feels somewhat out of holding with the remainder of the track. On one hand, it’s a swift exit that’s an comprehensible nod to the introduction and it does serve to maintain the general size underneath the extensively accepted ‘3-minute restrict’, however to me, it’s just a bit too hasty in a track that in any other case has a lot respiratory room in it.
Total, I discovered that Don’t Fear invokes the sensation of sitting on a hill watching the solar rise over the town. It’s an anthem for anybody desirous to take a while to consider what’s going on of their lives. It’s a hand in your shoulder letting you realize you can also make the change you want. You can also make a distinction. Telling you that you’re sufficient.
