INTERCONTINEN7AL’s song, “Apothecary” from their album, INTERCONTINEN7AL, Vol. 5, is an eclectic song that showcases the band’s unique blend of genres and international influences. The song’s production keeps a focus on creating a rich and textured soundscape.
The song’s opening acoustic guitar melody plucking in a rhythm, sets a relaxing and introspective tone. The vocals are a standout feature, with the singer’s soft, rich, breathy and sultry voice coming with the percussion jittery and rippling through. The vocals are delivered in the lower ranges so they sound strangely mesmerizing and ghostly while bringing depth and emotion to the lyrics.
The percussion engages with energy and complexity in the arrangement. The guitar amps up as the beats steadily build in the bridge all the way to the end of the song, while the vocals whisperingly and delicately sing amidst the build-up, featuring a dichotomy.
The lyrics of “Apothecary” are thought-provoking and introspective. The song explores themes of healing and transformation, with the metaphor of the apothecary representing a place of healing and renewal.
“Apothecary” is a testament to the talent and creativity of INTERCONTINEN7AL. This is a must-listen for fans of diverse and experimental music. The song’s captivating sound, thought-provoking lyrics, and global influences make it a standout track for all ages and communities of listeners.
With the release of “Apothecary” and their upcoming album “INTERCONTINEN7AL, Vol. 6,” INTERCONTINEN7AL continues to push the boundaries of music.
