As the Nordic hemisphere finally welcomes summer and the bitterness of winter fades, the sunshine sounds of the season begin to flourish. Tigeroak’s neo-soul music has a similar effect. This Danish duo’s sound keeps us warm through the cold months and chilled during the heat.
And the band’s latest release, ‘Call,‘ is nothing short of chilled flawlessness.
From the outset, ‘Call‘ soothes the soul with its smooth melodies and soulful vocals, creating an immediate sense of tranquillity. The production is an audiophonic paradise. The trumpet floats dreamily, evoking memories of late nights spent listening to Miles Davis’s ‘Kind of Blue.’
At over four minutes, ‘Call’ signals that we are in the realm of art, free from consumer-oriented constraints. With Tigeroak, it’s the music that dictates the length, not the radio. The duo, consisting of musician, producer, and guitarist Laurits Steen and vocalist and lyricist Anna Prinds, brings together a seamless blend of talents. Anna’s warm, soft tone perfectly complements Laurits’ smooth, soulful compositions.
The song’s theme hears her needing patience as she seeks to reconnect with a friend who won’t reply. Anna sings them with a melodious warmth. The instrumentals are intricate and complex, with layers of jazz elements creating an intimate and truly immersive soundscape.
Whether you’re a casual listener or a soul music connoisseur, ‘Call’ is a track you’ll appreciate.
LISTENERS NOTES
For the best experience, quality speakers are a must. Each guitar chord should reveal the nuances of every string pull. The drum taps with the precision of a metronome, and the piano keys are gentle, letting the vocal take centre stage. The detail in this track is extraordinary. It’s almost tear-inducing!
