Songwriter, producer, & multi-instrumentalist Anjalts has unveiled an eerily melancholic sonic masterpiece with her latest single, “Sometimes the Angels Cry.” Originally about a heartbreaking scenario of fading love, this sensational piece gives enough room to accompany anyone’s woes.
“Sometimes the Angels Cry” opens with a captivating paradox. A smacking shimmering glitzy beat of a bass drum lays the foundation with pulsating throbs. Yet, Anjalts’ vocals, are a soaring contralto that dips into trailing, heavy sharp lows with her head voice and then ascends to echoing heights against a reverbed soundscape, portraying vulnerability and heartache. The minimalist approach to instrumentation allows her voice to take center stage, its every inflection dripping with raw emotion.
The beauty of “Sometimes the Angels Cry” lies in its ambiguity and airiness, while keeping things nuanced and textured. Other than Anjalts’ experimental genius, it also shows off the expertise of Abbey Road Studios’ mastering adding a touch of classicism to the innovative soundscape.
The song floats through a dreamscape of shimmering synths and echoing, haunting harmonies. Anjalts’ voice acts as your guide, leading you through a labyrinth of emotions—despair, longing, and hope.
“Sometimes the Angels Cry” pushes the boundaries of genre and also remains emotionally resonant with the artist’s voice coming off vulnerable and finding beauty in the pain. Listen to Anjalts’ latest piece and find yourself immediately taking a liking to it.
