‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth. A song that is not meant to be heard, but to be lived through – like a familiar glance at an old photo album by candlelight. b...

"Paradise" by Roses In Hand

Roses in Hand, Jessica Allen und Samuel Burrell

Roses In Hand

Roses In Hand are a quirky underground duo that have a propensity for writing hook-heavy, relatable tunes that linger. They are currently delivering a fresh new sound of gritty electro-pop, with the first single set to be released in December 2021.
Singer/songwriter Jessica Allen and multi-instrumentalist/producer Samuel Burrell met each other by chance on the set of writing for a movie. Testing the waters of their music through busking, the pair knew they had something special when they released their debut single and music video "Free Fall" the same year.
From extensive travelling with their acoustic performances, Roses in Hand have been known for their lyrics of love, lust and struggles through beat-driven tempos and soulful melodies
With ear-catching performances and hook-heavy music, Roses In Hand have extended their sound with elements of modern pop, using electronic and acoustic instrumentation.



Paradise

Heute widme ich mich dem australischen Duo, Roses in Hand. Bei uns noch nicht ganz so bekannt, darf man sie, wie ich meine, dennoch mit dem Prädikat "Hörenswert" auszeichnen. Mit ihrer neusten Veröffentlichung "Paradise", erschienen am 17.Dezember, gehen sie in Richtung Modern Electro Pop. Seinen Wert kennen, sich das zu nehmen was einem zusteht, das "Es nicht verdient zu haben" erst gar nicht "reinlassen", als Thema.
Jessica Allen und Samuel Burrell bieten hier High Quality Pop, die Vocals von Jessica befördern uns in die oberen Regionen der Charts, klingen dabei äußerst dynamisch und eingängig, das Arrangement, sprich Instrumentalisierung, komplex wie auch well-balanced, einerseits setzt es Jessica perfekt in Szene, andererseits bedienen es den Hörer mit kleinen feinen Überraschung. 
Es ist eindeutig die Korrelation von Jessica und Samuel, dieses „Aufeinander bezogen sein“ das diesen Track auszeichnet, dieser modern Pop Perfektionismus in Form der musikalischen Umsetzung welcher hier auf eine ear-catching Performance der Vocals trifft. Es mit dem Etikett "Ready for the Charts" zu versehen daher nur legitim. Paradise by Roses in Hand wird mit Garantie nicht das Letzte sein was wir von der Band hören werden.
