Do you ever imagine yourself in a high-tech dystopian world like the ones you see in The Matrix? If the answer’s yes, then Urban Melancholia by Sarah Krimson is here to help you picture just that and accompany your imagination. The London-based singer-songwriter gives us a celebration of alternative indie-pop music. The single shows off the artiste’s soft but strong vocals, classic synth beats, drums, and crisp guitar strums.
Urban Melancholia opens with synth layers that create a hazy vibe, fitting the melancholic lyrics perfectly. The music picks up the pace, taking us through a journey filled with grooves, curves, and excellent drops. Our favourite part is the chorus that opens with a smooth drop and percussions, making a fit companion to Sarah’s unique vocals. The aesthetic cover by Gianluca Gattabria perfectly captures this dystopia-like atmosphere that the song creates. Cheers to that! The production beautifully unifies the music and lyrics in all their glory, getting us in a dark, dream-like mood, bobbing our heads to the beats.
We hope you enjoy Urban Melancholia and that it accompanies you through your moods of urban melancholy.
P.S. We at ICC do not review the music we post in our magazine because we want our readers and the artiste’s listeners to go and listen to the music with an open mind! We try to describe the song the way we perceive it and why we love it!
