Chris Murphy - Sovereign

-

 


American singer/songwriter, violinist, mandolinist, educator, composer and producer Chris Murphy releases a new album - "Sovereign."

The opening track is "Till The World Lifts Its Head Again" 
(Check out the official music video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXY9FeQLh5o)

This track features delicate, and tender melodies paired with almost hushed yet powerful vocals making the song feel almost like a meditation. You find yourself still, simply taking in the melody and lyrics. Admittedly, this isn’t a style of music I’d usually listen to but I’ve enjoyed the calm, melancholy vibe it creates... It’s almost easier to think of this as an experience rather than just a song.

The stunning guitar combined with the fast paced violin are a heart -breaking combination in " "Till The World Lifts Its Head Again" and are a real compliment to the lyrics. They almost bring a feeling of reminiscence to the listener. There is also some, delicate, elegant string work in there that really elevates. The single really demonstrates a range in the artists talent, and what's to come in the new album. 

As soon as the track begins, the listener is immediately transported to an 18th century European village, with all the village folk dancing around a fire to an upbeat song such as this. It's original and unique, especially in this day and age!

Folk-Hop Vol.II Jesse Aymon Dettwiler, most commonly known as C4C, is a multi-instrumentalist composer and music producer. This is the second chapter of C4C's Folk-Hop Movement Debut LP. This new "Folk-Hop" style has been described as "indie-folk culture finally catches the hip-hop bounce"  Us at IndieX couldn't disagree with that statement at all. C4C blends together sounds that work on so many levels. All the tracks move seamlessly as you're taken in by the immersive listening experience. Somewhat minimalistic, the calming, tranquil tones introduced in the tracks sit atop a hum of a variety of different instrumentation. Having already released dozens of tracks, it's little surprise just how much soul is poured into this art, and the outcome is staggering in its beauty.  The impressive element of the music is how tender and immersive it is, whilst still portraying a real and undeniable sense of power. It all passes with wonderful flying ...
