Gabrielle Ornate – The Undying Sleep (2022)
From the attitude-filled sounds of ‘Free Falling’, to the dancing grooves of ‘Spirit of the Times’, Gabrielle Ornate has had us firmly under her musical spell. She continues to enthral our senses with her latest release ‘The Undying Sleep’. The hypnotic flows of the dreamy soundscape gently awaken the soul from hibernation to rise on a wave of synths.
A truly kaleidoscopic sound, the single awakens something deep in your soul while gently guiding you to a light feeling as the world settles around you. In this single, Ornate is taking us on an ethereal journey through the soul, while adding a touch of indulgence to the richness of the soundscape. Another memorable track from the Bohemian siren, it is sure to pull you even further under the thrall.
Through a powerful crescendo of music in the opening of ‘The Undying Sleep’, the single sweeps you into the dreamscape of the track. There is a very interesting feeling to the opening melody as you are picked up by the rich swell of layers and rise into her vocals. It is a true kaleidoscope of synthetic colours that surrounds you and presses in on you like a cocoon. This feeling carefully starts to break as the single progresses and your soul is awoken from its hibernation to the wash of colours that fill the melody. The swell of the music can seem overwhelming at times, but you do start to slide down the soundscape and see that it is forming a sort of rainbow bridge leading you forward. The rock guitars that soar out later in the track are a wonderful shining beacon against the synths. Through the music, you can feel the journey of the single calling to your soul.
From the depths of the colours of the melody, Ornate’s vocals rise like a pillar of light. Her voice rises above the music, offering a focal point for the journey you take through the track. Through the verses, she gently draws you out of your hibernation with a poetic flow. There is a lot of imagery packed into the lyrics that brings the beauty of the world to life. It is a really wonderful single that offers you something quite different to anything else that you might be listening to. At times, her vocals bounce off the synths and lap over each other, creating further richness to the soundscape.
Using a kaleidoscope of rich synth colours, Gabrielle Ornate awakens your spirit from its slumber and highlights the beauty of the world through poetic lyrics in ‘The Undying Sleep’. A rich and lush soundscape, the synths form a path that leads you toward the shining beacon of her vocals. The guitar line that soars overhead sparkles and enhances the poetic beauty of her vocals.
