Bree Mignano – Save Me (2021)
There is a dark side to the entertainment industry that is slowly coming to light, but much remains in the shadows. When talking to friends, Bree Mignano found that they all had stories of inappropriate workplace behaviour and sexual harassment in the industry. She has taken these experiences and turned them into the cinematic tones of ‘Save Me’. With strings and building tension, she brings these experiences to exquisite sonic life.
Mignano has been honing her sound through the years she has spent making music from musical theatre in school to booking her first theatre show at 18. When a friend gave her production software, she started delving into this side of the industry and continues to co-produce her solo work today. The passion for what she does shines through in her music while she draws you into the tale of the lyrics.
‘Save Me’ shimmers across your ears in the opening before the beats skitter across the strings in the low levels of the melody. There is a very modern James Bond sound to the melody that merges with an epic theatrical feeling. The strings swell on the chorus before pulling you into a nebulous vibe on the second verse. There is a wonderful fusion of instrumentation that is utterly breathtaking to listen to. Richness is added by the strings while the more pop sensibilities flutter against them. The deeper instrumentation forms a dark underside while the piano line is a gentle light trying to burst through.
The cinematic and theatrical majesty of the melody is matched by the controlled and emotive vocals. Mignano’s voice enters with a paced rhythm that has a great pop feeling to it before sliding effortlessly into a powerful melodic line. Her power really comes through in the chorus as she slices through your skin with the emotions of the lyrics. Her vocal prowess is on full display as she swings from theatrical powerhouse vocals to the paced pop tones. When her voice soars on the chorus, she pulls you into the stratosphere with her.
Bree Mignano keeps you captivated with ‘Save Me’, a single that is all theatrical majesty and powerhouse vocals. The strings in the melody shift and swell bringing a theatrical tone only to merge with more pop sensibilities. This is matched by the vocals that really highlight her power and musical prowess.
