Satre – Alone (2021)
Through the sounds of ‘Alone’, Satre is expressing a range of emotions that we can all relate to. After the loneliness many have experienced in the last year, this outpour of emotion is touching and draws on this universal experience. To bring the emotions to sonic life, he combines pop, RnB and soul for an engaging soundscape that touches deep in your chest.
Drawing on the world at large for inspiration, he adds his unique touch to the sound. Combining this with the work he has done in theatre music and documentaries, he forms a musical sound that expresses who is he. If you are looking for a single that captures and expresses emotions in a unique way, this is the one you want.
The electronic edge vocals that open ‘Alone’ are so wonderful and effortlessly draw you into the song. The high tone of the vocals adds an innocence to them that works so well with the rather soulful movement of the melody resting beneath it. The vocals continue with a smooth melodic flow that has you resting in a strange neon twilight. They bring a vibe of that moment as the sun sets just before the street lights turn on. The interplay of the different vocal lines adds poignancy to the single while reaching into your chest and tugging at your heartstrings. For all the relative simplicity of the single, the emotional hit is as intense as any large production.
While the vocals have you floating to their strange twilight, the melody creates a bubble around you. The light soulful tones have a loneliness to them that enhances the emotions of the vocals. There is a delightful swirling of soul and RnB through the music that settles over you and has you sinking into the flow of the single. Later there is a guitar that calls out into the stillness of the track breaking the suspension of sound.
Satre fills you with sombre emotions while washing your senses in a suspended moment of twilight through ‘Alone’. There is a fragile feeling to the single that makes you hold your breath while giving in to the emotions. It is a wonderfully soft yet emotionally demanding track that captures feelings that are often hard to put into words.
