Rumara – Storm (2021)
Rumara uses an enigmatic soundscape to captivate with their debut single ‘Storm’. A story of love and hate set in a city, the single combines soulful tones with electronic cityscapes. With a touch of cinematic magic, the single is like the soundtrack to an oncoming storm with all the electricity this brings.
The enthralling sounds are brought to your ears by Laura and Yujin. Songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, they merge shimmering strings with powerful vocals to take you soaring to dizzying emotional highs. Together, they are creating a sound that is as restless and ruminative as the inspiration for their band name.
‘Storm’ draws you in with a rather enigmatic opening that is a complete fusion of vocals and instrumentation. Laura’s vocals combine with the shuffling beats as she wields it like an instrument that pulls you into the music while sending you soaring at the same time. Her vocals have a roiling feeling as she builds the power of a storm through the verse for a burst of electricity and cracking thunder on the chorus. There is an addictive movement to her performance that fills you with the darkness of storm clouds wrapped around the energising feeling of lightning. These emotions are woven into the lyrics that offer a rather poetic view of love and hate using storms as a metaphor.
While Laura’s vocals are a thing of beauty, she is taken to new heights with the melody. When her vocals detach from the instrumentation, the music takes a slight dip for a grounded feeling. The music makes you think of night creeping into a city wet with the rains from a powerful storm. The movement of the music is reflective lights in puddles and the taste of thunderous storms rolling in. There is a dizzying feeling to the music that hypes you up and has you vibrating to the energy and vibes of the single.
Rumara hits the ground running with their debut single ‘Storm’ that captures the powerful storm of love and hate. Laura’s vocals are powerful as she poetically pulls you into the metaphor of the lyrics while building the power of a storm. This is enhanced by the melody that brings the electric taste of lightening to your ears.
