Romarni Brytz – Marlin (2021)
With her single ‘Angel’, Romarni Brytz landed up as a track of the day as she got us into the upbeat and cheery tones of her music. Through her latest single ‘Marlin’, she is moving away from this and bringing a sense of empowerment and self-respect. If you have ever felt trapped or controlled, this song will remind you that you are no longer a victim of such feelings and that you have the strength to forge ahead on your own.
Drawing on her own feelings and experiences, this single carries a deep message that we can all use whether we have been in a similar position or not. The depths of the messaging and the maturity of the sound belies the age of the artist and lets you know that Brytz still has so much to offer. Using a swirl of pop tones, she showcases her musicality and versatility while changing up the pace from what we have heard before.
The deep opening of ‘Marlin’ sets a rather sombre tone for the track which is perfect as it captures the controlled and trapped feeling the underlies the single. The depths of the melody remain as the track progresses, but the other instrumentation brings a lightness. These lighter elements lift you out of the darkness of the opening for a truly wonderful sonic journey. Through the melody, Brytz has you in a controlled situation and brings empowerment leaving you on a path of lighter tones and emotions. It is a really intricate and emotive melody that leaves the darkness of controlling people in the past and fills you with the bright energy of inner strength.
While the melody handles the journey of the single perfectly, the vocals bring an extra edge of empowerment. Brytz brings the emotions of people in controlling relationships through the first verse before presenting you with your strength on the chorus. Her performance has a subdued feeling in the opening of the track but gains strength and surety as the song progresses. The power of her voice really rises later in the track to cement the strength of the single in your soul. While she fills you with power, there is also the understanding that you need to take certain steps yourself if you want to find freedom.
Romarni Brytz uses the movement of her performance and melody to take you on a journey from controlling situations to freedom and inner strength in ‘Marlin’. This is a fantastic track that not only highlights her musicality but showcases how masterful arrangements enhance the message of a track. As she leaves the darkness of the opening melody and takes you into the light, her vocals fill you with strength and a sense of empowerment.
