WATERBABY • TANGERINE
"Tangerine" by Waterbaby is a mesmerizing piece of music that transports listeners through the expanse of experimental electronica. Led by a talented sister-duo, this London-based project demonstrates a mastery of layered production, creating an ethereal landscape. They released their LP, 22° Halo, on May 12th.
The song unfolds with a gentle interplay of synth and vocals, immediately seducing the listener with its hypnotic embrace. From there, the layers of production begin to weave a rich tapestry of sounds that blend various sonic elements. Particularly noteworthy is the expert combination of warm, swirling tones and crystalline melodies. Waterbaby creates an otherworldly atmosphere that blurs the boundaries between electronic and analog. As the song progresses, additional layers of percussion, strings, and atmospheric effects seamlessly merge, adding depth and complexity to the sonic palette. The resulting music is a stellar fusion, bridging the realms of electronica and folk elements.
Waterbaby's vocals are celestial whispers, perfectly complementing the transcendental nature of the music. The delicate yet evocative vocal delivery enhances the dreamlike quality of the song, immersing the listener in a state of introspection and contemplation. With each lyric, Waterbaby conjures vivid imagery and abstract emotions, like distant galaxies waiting to be explored. The lyrics leave ample room for personal interpretation, allowing the listener to embark on their own cosmic voyage of discovery. The abstract lyrics falls into a nonchalant call, almost a tease:
Don’t care if you don’t know what I mean
What I mean
Do you know how it feels?
Tangerine
"Tangerine" proves Waterbaby is a promising talent, and it is a track that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
