‘Serenity’ warmly shimmers to life, bringing the heat of a summer spent on the beach. The light wash of the opening laps at your feet as you feel the sun beat down on your skin. The higher twinkling tones of the melody are a delightful contrast to the deep beats. You can feel the first touches of dance vibes through these beats that hit a bit harder as the chorus rises to life. There is something about the low levels of the melody that makes you want to move in some way to the rhythm. Through all of this, the middle of the melody is packed with that warm ocean vibe that softens the moving beats and the twinkling tones. Once the melody hits its stride, it doesn’t let up for a moment. It continues to shine and warm your skin while giving the first hints of the emotion woven into the vocals.
Walking with you through the shallow lapping waves of the opening melodic lines are SHAB’s vocals. There is a blossoming feeling to her performance as she delicately brings the first tentative feelings of love and affection. Her performance is angelic as it moves between the notes of the melody, leaving a trail of glittering light in its wake. While her performance is sweet across the verses, there is a splash of vocal dance to the chorus. Through the chorus, she meets the moving beats while easing something in your chest that lets you soak up the good vibes of the track. The lyrics paint the pleasure of a summer fling that could turn into something more.
Between the moving beats, angelic vocals and summer vibes of ‘Serenity’, SHAB fills us with gentle emotions that blossom into something much more. The melody is a wonderful blend of dance-worthy beats, twinkling high notes and an oceanic middle. Her vocals are sweet and angelic as they weave between the notes to draw you into the emotions of the track.
