Danil - These Thoughts
'Danil', an artist based in Germany has released his first single titled 'These Thoughts'
Artist's official website:
By embracing a nostalgia for the 1980s, Danil captures the era’s atmosphere and this is characterised by the use of striking synth riffs, punchy gated-reverb drumbeats and particularly dreamy vocals.
It’s true, ‘These Thoughts’ could be pulled straight from the soundtrack of a John Hughes-esque flick.
Tender lyricism calls for sentimental vocals and the artist provides this with a soft, deep crooning delivery verging on ‘whisperpop’ in places. From the almost tentative verses to the increasingly catchy chorus – Danil’s emotion shivers throughout.
From the very moment the track opens, with a unique, ethereal nature, the listener is immediately engaged, and immersed in this engaging musical experience, thanks to the complex instrumentation that radiates throughout the soundscape. The first class, clinical production of the track truly completes it, and makes the song feel "established", and refreshing to hear.
