Mark Wink – Down Down (2022)
Mark Wink is taking us on a trip down to the bottom of the sea with his aptly titled single ‘Down Down’. Using an incredible bass and some ocean sounds, the digitally produced single will have you grooving all the way to the ocean floor. Packed with some serious vibes, he blends soulful vocals with symphonic ocean sounds, alongside modern dance and pop elements.
This amazing combination of the sonic elements comes from the brain of digital mastermind, Mark Wink. While his job is all about digital transformation, he uses his creativity to combine these skills with creative storytelling that makes his music really shine. He created his first song in 2016 and by 2019 he started his first AI-supported hybrid song project. Using modern techniques to create engaging songs, he really stands out from the crowd.
‘Down Down’ pulses to life with some really engaging tones that beckon you further into the single. There is a wonderful dance vibe to the music that has you moving to its rhythm. The electronic pulses of the melody flow into a really wonderful symphonic movement that calls you to the depths of the ocean. Through the music, you can feel the merger of melodic elements with the smooth slide of soul, meeting the pulsing beats of dance and EDM. There is a sprinkling of pop over the top of the notes that lead you back to that oceanic symphony. It is a rather decadent melody that highlights so many wonderful tones and sounds, while transporting you into another world. You are drawn into a watery world that is somewhat familiar, while alien at the same time. The horns add more organic vibes to the single while retaining the moving movement.
As you are moving to the stunning flow of the melody, the vocals hit you with rich soulfulness. Through the vocal performance, you feel an undeniable urge to head down to the bottom of the sea. The smoothness of the vocals is bolstered by the richness of the performance that first draws you down and then takes you on a journey through the otherworldly water world. While you are pulled down, there is a question in the lyrics about whether you will be able to get back up from the ocean’s depth. The combination of dancing vibes and soulful vocals is utterly delightful and comes together for a really engaging listening experience.
Mark Wink beckons you to the bottom of the sea through soulful vocals that weave between an oceanic symphony of sound in ‘Down Down’. The melody is a masterpiece of sound that takes the best elements of electronics and instrumentation, weaves them together, and sends them soaring through your senses. The soulful vocals are a fantastic complement to the music and draw you further under the water, while wondering if you will ever make it out.
