Evelí Ray’s “Particles” transports you. From the first shimmer of sound, it feels like stepping into a celestial dream, where the air vibrates with something mystical. The ambient textures drift in like a cosmic whisper, setting the stage for Evelí’s voice—soft, steady, and hypnotic, like a guiding light through the void. The percussion builds steadily, adding a heartbeat to the floating synths, and suddenly, you’re caught in a trance you don’t want to break.
Inspired by Rumi’s Poem of the Atoms, the track is a meditation on existence itself. You can hear echoes of Björk, Peter Gabriel, and Kate Bush in the way Evelí merges electronic elements with deep, organic instrumentation. Joan Miró’s mandolin work weaves in with Marcos Exposito’s bass, while Salvador Toscano’s percussion pulses like a ritualistic dance. They create an otherworldly and deeply human track with Nordic coolness with Mediterranean warmth.
The cinematism with Particles wouldn’t make it feel out of place soundtracking a sci-fi epic or a dream sequence where time bends and reality melts away. And it makes sense because Evelí drew inspiration from M83’s Oblivion soundtrack, channeling that same sense of wonder and cosmic longing.
This single is just a glimpse into Butterflies, her upcoming album, and if “Particles” is anything to go by, we’re in for something ethereal, experimental, and full of soul. Whether you’re a seeker of sonic journeys or just looking for a track to get lost in, “Particles” will pull you into its orbit—and you won’t want to leave.
