The deep longing for emotional revelation: ‘Black Into White’ by Janeuary

‘Black Into White’ by Janeuary

We hope everyone has arrived safely in 2025 and is once again showing the great interest that indie music desperately needs, as has been the case in recent months and years. 

Although our first song is still from the old year, it is by no means old. Its name fits the current month, and its music fits the blog. We're talking about Janeuary, whose latest release is ‘Black Into White’. 

The mood is melancholy and dramatic. The vocals are reminiscent of Adele and are musically in the same vein. Janeuary's vocal part makes almost everything around it fade away but is repeatedly fueled with enormous depth and emotion by the orchestral instrumentation. 

In terms of content, ‘Black Into White’ resembles a poetic metaphor in which the inner darkness of the individual is lifted by the calming and illuminating presence of a loved one. The recurring motifs of doors and colors immediately suggest a deep longing for emotional revelation and the longed-for change that comes with it. 

This poetry, combined with the instrumentation and, above all, Janeuary's vocal performance, is at such a high level that we can speak of a masterful symphony. ‘Black Into White’ by Janeuary is therefore my first recommendation for 2025 and beyond.
